Lately, I've had too many words. As a verbal processor, my words often tumble out too fast. My lips are loose with canons. Sometimes, fireworks — colorful, good, joyful. Sometimes, otherwise. There are days like today where it is better to stop talking, stop writing. And, to look and listen.
So I invite you to pause. To look and listen. And today, as John Muir recommends, keep close to nature's heart.
Look and listen today. What may God have for you in pausing?
