Thursday’s insight

All this rushing
Will soon be over;
For it is in lingering
That we receive insight.

Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

Rushing –it's built into almost everything we do, especially in America.

Although I am retired, I still wake up most mornings feeling like I'm already behind. It's a habit deeply embedded within me. I pray these simple words will plant seeds that grow into flowers. And these flowers will call for my attention diverting me from the need to rush.

A call to linger.
