“Something that I am noticing in my life is the ways that our society and systems speed us along. And I’m noticing how I long to slow down. That longing comes from the desire to feel more intentional, fulfilled by presence, and to add a sense of awe, preciousness, and sacredness to my life as much as I can. I want to be careful with my time. Careful in a way that is not fearful or scarce, but careful as in adding in more love, adding in more romance, creating attention, creating beauty, reverence, and joy. I think if life can even be filled a little more than half with those things, life can be pretty good. Even when it’s bad, if those pieces can ground me, I’ll always find my way back.”
