Slow Ride, Long Cut

“The glory of God is the human person fully alive.”― Irenaeus of Lyons

“In Buddhism, the concept of “being busy as a form of laziness” refers to the idea that constantly filling one’s time with activities, often superficial or distracting, can be a way of avoiding deeper self-reflection and spiritual practice, essentially acting as a form of mental laziness, even if outwardly appearing very busy; this is often called “Kausīdya” in Sanskrit, meaning ‘spiritual sloth.’”- AI search

Slow, pause, stop.
Look up and in to see expanse, depth, width.
Anchor, root, reach, imagine.
Less busy, more reflection.
Shorten the list to the essentials, discard the rest.
Recalibrate, reroute, carry on.
Intuition of inner compass.
Fully alive, enjoying the journey.
Travel lightly, with awe, wonder and gratitude.
The long cut.

“I was wise enough never to grow up,
while fooling people into believing I had.”― Margaret Mead
