Contemplate
“If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.” – Sri Chinmoy
Take five minutes today to be quiet, be open – focus on BEing instead of DOing. There’s more to life than checking tasks off our to do list.
“Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable, it is true.” ― Thomas Merton

Yes, it’s good to slow down and be quiet for a while to re-align ourselves =)
I had a Samoyed many years ago. Nice dog but boy did it shed.

I’m learning this and enjoying turning that five minutes into ten.
20 minutes is even better.
