That Time to Pause and Renew

This certainly is the allowance to have time to renew and re-energize that last time I had done anything of the likes was back a few years ago.  Permission to pause, hmm.  I am finding that I am within that zone now.  I had wrote much on this very subject as it was and always was apart of the dynamics within life which I enjoyed – yet I can’t say I entirely did what I am doing now.  But I am doing it.  There are sometimes a thought that I have been transported back to the past when times were those which there were what they called – “Party Line” phones.  One phone serviced two homes in the rural areas.  I recall it well when I was a kid visiting his aunt and uncle out on the farm.

Within a cadence and ease I now feel like I have a foundation.  Saying goodbye to those overloaded practices which drain energy, sap productivity and poison relationships.  Sustainable ways which are intuitive which this path have always seemed to serve me in a productive way with right strategies that engage my mind, body, and strengthens the spirit.  I guess you could call it right loading rather than overloading.  It’s all within a shift.  This time within a pause rekindles the opportunity to take that pause.  For myself, I truly am taking that time to pause and enjoy the rewards of the good things – without the need to worry over things that need to be done, and literally enjoy the moments.

Everyone has that capacity to wear out it illustrates itself in a variety of ways.  But I have really put into place that “think again and don’t ponder too long”.  The business of having to feel that you have to be available within life within this techno era – I feel is neither a need nor a necessity.  Within this experience and process of all of this has been to step back and step out of the flow.  The business of always having to be available has temporarily gone out the door and it leaves for a time to reshape as mentioned above.

The word quick seems to be the pace of many yet I have slowed down.  A slower pace might just be the best medicine for many I am finding that it certainly has rendered more even within these few days.  I have run now for three consecutive days combined with eating three meals a day.  I am sleeping much better than I had before.  I believe apart of this was finding that I was locked within a certain way.  I was so busy running and trying to keep up and as well catch up – without ever having the chance to just appreciate the moment.  I am getting to know a few people here, I got my hair cut and was amazed to find that most all stores never open up till 10am.  Yet it made for a walk as well as an afternoon semi jog and walk along one of many winter trails. Some may feel that they are lazy when they are taking that pause.  I feel that society as a whole might be going to fast – yet I am not caught up within what others do. Yet while I am enjoying my journey I have come to engage within that small talk which is one of ease.

What I do believe is that this time is one which I am rejuvenating the areas which I love and am inclined towards.  And there is something to be said between the thoughts of what is in value without an insistent need but rather an option which re-energizes rather than our need for the quick, better that than a meltdown.
