This is the Still Point Minute.

The pause before you react.

There's a space in every moment,

A pause,

Often so small we miss it.

It comes just before we react,

Just before words leave our mouths or actions take hold.

That pause is sacred.

It is where balance lives.

In that pause,

You are free to choose differently,

To soften your voice,

To wait a moment longer,

To respond with calm rather than urgency.

Today,

Notice that space.

Let yourself rest there,

Even for two seconds.

The pause is not empty.

It is full of your power to create harmony.

This was the Still Point Minute.
