Most religious and wisdom traditions recommend periods of more intense practice – a silent retreat, 40 days in Lent, the month of Ramadam…
A new moon teaches gradualness
and deliberation and how one gives birth
to oneself slowly. Patience with small details

What nine months of attention does for an embryo
forty early mornings will do for your gradually growing wholeness
Thank you, Karl Duffy, @Mindfulbalance
