Welcome the the first blog for SerenityPause.org!
I'm reflecting on a recent 10-day silent retreat where I came back to a realization that I had long ago--each moment is so unique and so precious, like a snowflake, yet I waste so many of them by not be fulling present. When I slow down and breathe into the moment, the world around me seems to calm down as well--it's the miracle of awareness! Being fully present enables me to experience the essence of being alive, and gives me the insights and information I need to make enlightened decisions, not from the conditioned habits of my past, not from my projected worry of the future, but from the facts and reality as I know them in this moment. And if I change my decision, there is always another moment right around the corner, to choose again and again.
choose to be present. choose to be alive. choose to truly live.
