In my previous blog post, I began exploring an invitation (exhortation?) from poet Mary Oliver to stand still and learn to be astonished.
Subsequent to posting, I quickly realize I need first to learn to stand still.
To fully press pause.
My daughter once told me she carries a mental image of me in which I appear as a head moving full speed forward trailing my body and feet behind.
So, yeah. Starting point: learn to stand still.
