113 Retreat @ Bodega Bay

The world can be a cold and dark place... but that doesn't mean you have to feel your way through the blinding darkness by yourself. It doesn't mean that we live in a world of shadows. It doesn't mean we're all trying to feel our way to the light. But it does mean there's still sunshine when it rains and that our smiles can be heard. It means we're all connected. In Him.

From 10,000 to 10 rpms

It's really true this whole idea of how we rev our engines up and consantly keep them there because that's how we meet the needs of our daily demands. A thought that occurs to me, in all of that "meeting of demands" mentality how little time we have to recharge. Most people I know don't sleep enough, or they always seem to have ever growing shadows that hang out under their eyes and yet some how for most there doesn't seem to be enough time in a day. I don't know that I could handle more hours because chances are pretty good that I'd spend them doing other things that tax me and cause me to feel even more tired, and then I'd still get maybe 6 hours of sleep, which is scary considering that instead of 1/4th of a day of rest I might get say .... 1/6th or 1/8th depending on how long of a day you'd consider ideal.

I have to say that, our little session of about a half hour of journaling really caused me to slow down and to really reflect, and it seemed both peaceful and restful even though it was simply 30 minutes (1/48th or 0.0208 or 2.08% of a day). Amidst our dizzying pace of life, perhaps what we need more of is still moments by calm waters and not simply more hours to make ourselves more dizzy and generally nauseous.

Consider 10 minutes of slow down time; reflect and see what that does for you for a week or two, and let me know the difference it's made.
