There are moments when I just want to stand by the window.
My mind shifts from the glow of car lights to raindrops and back again.
Thoughts flow unpredictably, and I follow them like a paper boat.
I like that so many people are rushing off to do their own things.
But I’ve frozen time. Why?
The pause is doing important work inside me.
Like a compressed Oshibori towel swelling when soaked with water, I expand.
I could easily occupy my mind with another task, book, or podcast.
But that would be like quenching thirst with soda instead of spring water.
Right now, it’s essential to create and hold onto emptiness.
That way, the water of life has a chance to seep into my mind, body, and soul.
What is this source? I don’t know. But it’s there, always ready to nourish.
All you have to do is stop rushing, be still, and receive it with gratitude.
A pause is a necessary step before you can create something again.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
