Growth is not always constant forward motion
Growth is also being still
It’s knowing when to turn the volume down so we can listen
It’s slowing down long enough to surrender, to our deepest knowing
Growth is resting your mind and trusting what surfaces
It’s peeling back another layer of self
It’s feeling yourself expand and claiming that space as yours
Growth is letting yourself see how much good is already in your life before you hunger for more
Close your eyes, slow your breath, and allow your body to loosen the grip on life
You are not falling behind. You are precisely where you need to be
And you are so held beyond measure
