Pausing

I need to take a sacred pause, as if I were a sun warmed rock in the center of a rushing river. – Dawna Markova

What a beautiful image that quote illuminates.

‘Pausing when agitated’ is a powerful tool.  

Many times I react without thinking and when I do, most times than not, it complicates things.  

That all-important pause gives me the opportunity to think through my actions.  

When I do, my actions come from a place of compassionate consciousness … like the ‘sun warmed rock in the center of a rushing river’.

Interesting.
