Still Powerful
“The presence of inner peace is the still point of God.” ~ Flora Slosson Wuellner But still doesn’t mean stalled. The Comfort of Presence + The Power to Go Forth = Inner Peace Still point to Starting Point = Outward Joy Ready, Set, Go
The Hurrieder I go, the Behinder I get
That phrase, from a poster on my high school bedroom wall, is haunting me today. Not because time has passed, but because it hasn’t seemed to. It’s even more true today than it was back then, and it has me wondering whether I am making any headway. Speed breeds errors. Which mean do-overs. Which take time. […]
