"Walk, don't run."

Walk, don’t run.

That’s it. 

Walk, don’t run. Slow down, breathe deeply, 

and open your eyes 

because there’s a whole world right here within this one. 

The bush doesn’t suddenly catch on fire, 

it’s been burning the whole time. 

Moses is simply moving slowly enough to see it. 

And when he does, 

he takes off his sandals. 

Not because the ground has suddenly become holy, 

but  because he’s just now becoming aware 

that the ground has been holy the whole time.

Efficiency is not God’s highest goal for your life,

neither is busyness,

or how many things you can get done in one day,

or speed,

or even success.

But walking-

which leads to seeing-

now that’s something.

That’s the invitation for every one of us today

and every day, in every conversation, interaction,

event, and moment: to walk, not run. And in doing

so, to see a whole world right here within this one.
