From Howard Thurman today, this reminder:
“It does not require the expert knowledge of the psychologist to discover that we live daily under conditions that undermine whatever tendencies there are in the human spirit that make for a relaxed way of life. Everyone is in a hurry.”
The solution – duh! Slow down. Or as Thurman puts it –
“All travelers, somewhere along the way, find it necessary to check their course, to see how they are doing.”
And I so love Thurman’s simple (?simple?) solution:
“Cultivate the mood to linger… Who knows? God may whisper to you in the quietness what He has been trying to say to you, oh, for so long a time.”
It occurs to me...
