Sometimes, the thing to do is to pause.

(No, not permanently, or even for a long time. Just for a few minutes. Or ten.)

To pause and to be.

Not to change how we are, but to feel how we are. To know and to experience how we are.

That pause is like a deep breath. A moment of conscious rest.

And at its end, we can begin again. Perhaps on the same path ... or maybe in a new direction.

The pause gives visibility to our options and a renewed connection to our intentions.
