Slowing Down

I have no time to rush

Tara Brach

Autumn is a season of decline in nature, and it somehow comes naturally to slow down our own steps, too. 

We have been rushing through summer, wanting to grasp each fleeting moment of its fullness, rarely stopping to reflect.

Now is the time to slow down, to take a deep breath and let the stunning freshness and colours of autumn sink in. 

We "have no time to rush”: rushing prevents us from taking in all the beauty around us. Rushed-through life is almost like blind, or un-lived life. 

In this amazing season I want to live each moment fully, enjoy each step through the fallen leaves, each breath of the moist, rich autumn air.

Let’s slow down, and quietly walk towards the hibernation we can only imagine...
