Intimacy vs. Isolation

Taking time to listen and acknowledge, to validate and empathize with compassion isn’t always at the top of my priority list.  I rush around trying to accomplish tasks and get jobs done.  Every day I miss out on interaction with those who cross my path because my focus isn’t on seeing, hearing and being but rather on doing and achieving. 

Today, I will remind myself frequently to slow down, breathe and stay present to those I meet in the moment.  I choose to value the gift of connection over the completion of a chore list.  I will stop, look and listen.
