July 2021 - Stillness

Have you ever experienced a yearning for rest or stillness but resisted it because of all the things on your to-do list? What about giving yourself the opportunity to be still but then feeling guilty about it? I am often amazed that sometimes when I choose to rest and do nothing it feels surprisingly uncomfortable.

As we begin to resume our "normal," post-pandemic lives, many of us are finding ourselves sliding back into the habit of constantly doing. But one comfort from this past year was taking a break from the doing and instead slowing down and being. This month's invitation is to reclaim some of this restorative STILLNESS, in spite of a return to busy-ness as usual.
