“Time is a relentless river. It rages on, a respecter of no one. And this, this is the only way to slow time: When I fully enter time’s swift current, enter into the current moment with the weight of all my attention, I slow the torrent with the weight of me all here. I can slow the torrent by being all here. I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment. And when I’m always looking for the next glimpse of glory, I slow & enter. And time slows. Weigh down this moment in time with attention full, and the whole of time’s river slows, slows, slows.” – Ann Voskamp in One Thousand Gifts
