🌅 Sometimes the sky asks you to stop.
During my morning and evening walks, I have noticed that there is a brief, unpredictable moment when the light suddenly changes and an ordinary sky becomes a spectacle.
You cannot plan it. You cannot rush it. When it appears, you can only stop and look.
It reminds me of an idea often attributed to Einstein: we can live as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is.
For us women, stopping can sometimes feel uncomfortable. There is always another task to complete, another expectation to meet or another reason to prove that we deserve our place.
When we are constantly busy proving ourselves, trying to get everything right and taking care of everyone else, we may stop noticing our own exhaustion—and the life unfolding around us.
Presence takes practice. Sometimes it begins with something very small: looking up, taking a breath and allowing ourselves to be exactly where we are.
We do not have to earn that moment.
We do not have to be productive in it.
We are allowed to simply experience it.
Perhaps the miracles are already there. We just need to slow down enough to notice them.
What made you stop and look today?
