I am as used to chasing time as you are!
Chasing mornings, deadlines, dreams, and the my ever-growing to-do lists.
It feels like the clock is always ticking; urging me to do more, achieve faster, and catch up to some invisible finish line, lline after line.
But here’s a thought: What if the clock only ticks because we allow it to?
What if time isn’t running out?
What if all of this isn’t a race?
The world is exactly where you left it before resting your head on that sweet pillow last night.
There is nothing you have missed.
Or better yet, there is nothing you could have missed.
We live in a constant state of urgency. Notifications ping while we sleep. Messages stack up. The fear of falling behind creeps in, even as our bodies beg for rest.
But here’s another perception of mine: What if time slows when you slow down?
The clock stops ticking when you want it to.
What if when you close your eyes and let yourself surrender, nothing falls apart?
What if the sun still rises?
And the sky still opens wide.
What if the people who love you still do.
And you didn’t miss your chance.
Or lose your place.
What if you’re not late for life?
What if the most beautiful parts of life will wait for you?
As long as you need. As much as you need.
