taking a moment
Sometimes taking a moment means, in the wise words of Winnie the Pooh

grace and space
all you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter Eckhart Tolle
sitting with
Using the practice of ensō allows me the chance of “sitting with” my thoughts and feelings. (ensō is Japanese calligraphy also described as an expression of the moment)
Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things. Dogen
listening for your own rhythm
There are many words and ways we use to talk about rhythm. We may say go with the flow. Other words we use that speak about rhythm are, beat, pattern, flow, getting in the zone, or cadence. Trying to force something that just doesn’t fit or work is not very useful but be we do it all the time
Many sages speak to the becoming quiet so you can hear.
If you can’t hear it’s hard know which rhythm is, in fact yours to follow.
