We all have a story.
Like this broccoli. Who planted it? Where did it grow? Who picked it, cut it, washed it, shipped it, stored it. Then I bought it and cooked it. It definitely looks different than how it first came into being. It will transform again when I consume it. Consider stories untold.

Coffee, computer, on a table. Window in view behind with sunlight and green leaves.
Go slow. Decelerate. Better yet stop. To live in the moment is to feel more, and when we feel more, we’re being. To be in the moment is to feel more, and when we feel more, we’re living. Feeling, being, living. Breathe it in. Slow…Still.

Image of the sky with clouds swirling around the sun.
“Settle” is scary word in a culture that defines worth from striving. Wanting more comes from an emptiness never satisfied. Now I see “settling” not as acquiescence, but acceptance. Grateful for what I have. Going forward we don’t reach the clouds, but circle. To lay back and settle, they appear.

Green hilly meadow with grass and purple and white flowers, below an expansive cloudy and blue sky.
Breathe in, breathe out. Let it go. Right wrong gone. Be.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase
each other
doesn’t make any sense.”
~ Rumi
