I’ve been having this same debate with myself for a few weeks now. I’m finding it impossible to balance the quiet time I need to feel restored with the energy I need (and want) to give to the world now the world is waking up. It’s hard to tend to your own needs while jobs, families, all the other demands on our time and attention constantly fight to insert themselves. I’m going to keep your piece as a manifesto for a way to approach it. Beautiful writing, as ever. ☺️ xx
Hello, my friend. I suppose my late response is a sign that my days have been filled with activity throughout all of April. There has been very little time for the quiet, slow moments that my soul craves. I wonder how your month has unfolded? It feels a little disconnected inside of me, yet I also know and trust that this is the energy that is supposed to be right now. And all I can do is continue to try to return to that quiet space within for tiny moments whenever I can. Wishing you a glorious and cozy end to April, Victoria. 🌸
Resonate so much with the push/pull, all in/all out and the difficulty in finding balance between slow living and daily life or seasonal energies. Loved the post, will come back for a slow read when I’m not having to get out through the door! Thanks 😁
Finding moments for slow anything has been escaping me this month, but I’m so glad that you stopped by and left a little comment. I hope that you have found a bit of balance in it all as April comes to a close. Thanks so much for your comment, Angela. ☀️
These transitional seasons, spring and fall are my favorite times of year. I don’t enjoy spring as much now because I dread the heat of summer which starts too early now. There is something soothing about fall which I love. I believe it is you who has helped me enjoy the fall and winter months. I say that because I started reading more about how Sweden and other northern countries live their lives during the darker months. Anyway, I relate to the push and pull feeling this time of year.
Soothing is the perfect word for the fall and the darker half of the year. That is exactly how I feel. Spring and summer, while beautiful and abundant, feel a bit too energetic to me. I can appreciate them, but they are not where I find myself feeling at home. Swedes are quite good are surviving the darker months, but the majority of the spend the whole year waiting for summer, to be honest. Still, in order to get there, they definitely embrace the cozy, dark season and make the best of it. xoxo
