Hi Claudia, this is an excellent piece. I needed this reminder today as I’ve been clearing the rush for years and learning to adjust to slow spacious pausing. Thank you so much.

It is amazing how our culture can Intraject the endless doing that disconnects us from what matters most. I’m glad you are here.

thanks so much for your thoughts, Prajna. I find those disconnections really disturbing...If you don't pay attention, and know your values and what is important to you, the rushing society/work interfere and you get pushed around like a ping pong ball.

Yes, it definitely gets internalized from so many different sources. Thank you.

We were pressed into retiring when my husband got very sick. He’s doing okay now. I am enjoying living a slow life. It’s a bit of a mental challenge at times because I raced for years and that’s hard to drop but I’m doing pretty good at it.

glad to hear your husband is doing ok. Health is the most valuable thing we have. Slowing down makes us realize how precious certain things are in life.
