To Live Like It's Sunday Morning
I love Sunday mornings, especially when I can take few more minutes to enjoy the quiet. The kids are staying up later, so mornings are a little quieter for a bit longer than usual for now.
I love to light my candle in the morning, brew some coffee, and hold the moment as long as I can.
I learned to love the quiet a long time ago. When I was around ten years old, I would hang out in one of the big trees right outside our house. I’d climb up into it and nestle in under the big sprawling branches. It was the perfect spot to read, write or think. I wasn’t worried about time or boredom. I wanted that space and time.
And, like so many things, life has a way of changing us over time.
We hand over stillness for busyness. We have so much that piles on. And it sometimes feels like a luxury to embrace a few minutes with all the demands and responsibilities we carry.
We fear stopping, slowing down. Listening. And we lose our way a bit. I think our true self gets lost under layers of should.
Things start to get in the way of seeing clearly.
I also think life has a way of inviting you back into the stillness. It may be from one of life's wake up calls—a major personal crisis, a work crisis, a spiritual awakening, or a general restless feeling that there is something more meant for your life.
And it’s like you need to climb back up into that tree. To find home.
To find one moment that reminds you who you are.
And another one. And another one.
Until you see again.
