Slow down and enjoy life


Our heat wave continues. Of course, since we do not usually get hot weather in this part of California, we are finding it really hot. My room is 81 degrees and I have the fan on, the window and blinds closed, the door open, and it is quite warm! Hence, the snow scene, which helps one cool off just to look at it.

Now I love this and reflect on it often:

“Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way
to something unknown, something new.

And yet it is the law of all progress, that it is made by passing through some stages of instability, and that it may take a very long time.

And so I think it is with you

Your ideas mature gradually. Let them grow. (From Teilard de Chardin)

Now, slow down, trust in the slow work of God, and all will be well.
