Wow! Most every week I read your inspiring words and usually I say to myself, "Aren't these words very 'nice'" But this week's words felt profoundly different. Your words went to a place in me that transcended my mind and touched in me my essential nature, my Self beyond any reason and analysis. I felt no urge nor any need to try to understand what you were saying. I immediately felt this strong sense that these words were describing what is usually an impossible thing to do in that they expressed an ineffable TRUTH of what life is really all about.
A meditation I read just this week talked about statio — pausing on thresholds of liminal space — to allow for transition to occur gently. I do this in terms of both tone and space — between both places and actions/appointments. I find rushing from one place or thing to another leaves no space for God and makes me feel chaotic and out of balance. I like the word pause rather than wait, which sounds a little more anxious and desperate. Pausing includes resting and dwelling in Presence…
Thanks, Karen, your reflections are consistently so very well done- so on target for what our world needs right now. With your permission, I would like to share this as the devotion for my Bible study group tomorrow morning. Thanks for being you!

I found my "sacred pause" in my day while reading your delightful essay. Thanks for these beautiful and thoughtful words, Karen.
