Slowing Down

When was the last time you slowed down to listen?  Did you know you can hear the chattering of grasshoppers at dusk? Have you ever felt the hum of cicadas fill your ears until it drowned out all other sounds? When you take a bite of your favorite food, can you feel the texture of it on your tongue? We were made for these pleasures that come with rest.

When you slow down, what do you notice that you didn’t perceive in your hurry?
