The Power of the Pause In a fast world,

The most radical thing you can do is pause.

This short reflection explores the sacred stillness between stimulus and response,

The space where clarity,

Kindness and choice return.

We live in a rhythm of reaction.

Notifications,

Interruptions,

Emotions rising and falling like waves.

But there's a small,

Luminous space between what happens and how we respond.

That space is freedom.

When you pause,

You don't suppress the moment,

You expand it.

You let wisdom catch up to instinct.

You give compassion a chance to speak before defence takes over.

Next time tension rises,

Try this.

Pause.

Inhale deeply.

Exhale slowly.

And silently say,

There's time.

Because there is.

The pause is not weakness.

It's power,

Held softly.
