Since moving into my sixth decade I have noticed a shift in myself and others my age and older. While there still is a desire to be productive, as there has been for most of our lives, there is also an intuitive urge to slow down the pace and enjoy deeper connections - with other people and nature. These simple pleasures often generate a renewal of body, mind, and spirit far beyond what we expected.
I wonder if these practices could be adopted by younger folks long before they too have that inner knowing that their time on this earth is limited.
Jane, I just realized I posted the "wrong" post after reading your beautiful writing about summer lessons. Please disregard! Guess I need some of the stillness you reference :)
I think rest was invented by heat. ☺️
I love that dear Emily! 😍🤗😘
