This world has a tendency to race away with you, unless you intentionally coax it back to slow. It doesn't have to be this way. -Loud, noisy, overstimulating, and unfulfilling. Nor, was it always this way. -The world, in and of itself, fashioned with unblemished charm and captivating beauty by our Masterful Creator from the very start. The ways and whys of the world...simpler, way back when. Unadulterated and pure, non-taxing in their entirety. How did it all go awry? Why are our minds discombobulated with a million concerns, yet our souls are parched and thirsty? Too much technology, perhaps. Too much clamor of the TV. Too many voices crowding each other out on Facebook. Too many activities on an already jam-packed schedule. Too much. What if we mingled with simplicity? What if we dialed back to simpler times? What if we turned off the TV and tuned our ears to the gentle sound of the breeze blowing midday instead? -Soft, gentle, refreshing...a whisper of love from His lips. What if we honed in on the bumblebee buzzing? The happy ducks paddling?. The laundry you took out to dry on the line if only to see their limbless sleeves and pant legs dancing in the wind, all happy under the bright shining sun? There is time, I'm learning. Time enough to notice these things. Time enough for reflecting and connecting tiny, seemingly insignificant moments amid our mundane days that end up amounting to something quite significant. There is time enough for tea, for moments made way to usher in more and more slow. Will it be one lump or two, dear friend? -And, blueberry or lemon scone might you choose as we chat? I'm learning to slow dance with our Creator. Learning to see glimpses of His heavenlies while still here on earth. Join me. There's a place here for you, and it's fussied-up all fancy.
