♥ when the heart ponders

"there is a relentless river. it rages on, a respecter of no one. and this, this is the only way to slow time: when i fully enter time's swift current, enter into the current moment with the weight of all my attention, i slow the torrent with the weight of me all here. i can slow the torrent by being all here. i only live the full life when i live fully in the moment. and when i'm always looking for the next glimpse of glory, i slow and enter. and time slows. weigh down this moment in time with attention full, and the whole of time's river
slows, slows...slows."

Titus 2:11-14
