Summer Stillness

Summer has come to a quiet close. I intentionally made the most of the surprisingly cool, yet sunny summer days of Colorado by attempting to keep the cornucopia of technology just at arm's length. I vowed to purposefully spend more time just being present in the moment.

In The Art of Stillness, Pico Iyer writes, "In the age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention." 

Such a true statement! It truly takes courage to step out of the fray, but when you do, it brings you closer to others. In the almost two years of living here, I've connected with people and have formed friendships in ways that I haven't in many years. And I've been blessed to create more lifelong memories with my sweet family and to re-connect with some of the dearest friends I'll ever know.

This blog post serves as a gentle reminder of the magic that happens when you let go of the pace that life throws at you and instead choose to embrace the stillness.

"The point of gathering stillness is not to enrich the sanctuary or mountaintop but to bring that calm into the motion, the commotion of the world."
