How does an Irish poet from the early 1800's know anything about the lives of women in the 21st century? Did he time travel?
"It's important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don't necessarily nurture the soul. The soul has different concerns of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relateness to the environs and to people; and any animal's rhythm of rest and activity."
~ Thomas Moore (1772-1852)
How did he know about our hustle and bustle - our sometimes unconscious attempts at following in Linda Carter's footsteps? Can you say Wonder Woman? How did he know we needed downtime?
What would happen if we took the time to pause and reflect? Would we stand out? Would the world stop and take notice? Would our souls benefit?

Where in your life do you need to take the time to be still? Where do you need to say no to the hustle and bustle of your own "grand central station"?
I dare you to really ponder this question with me.
Needing some time to be still,
Cindy
