The Rhythm of the Spiritual Life

Thanks to my Priest, Fr. Nicholas Junker for inspiring this post.

The rhythm of a spiritual life – We Work. We Walk Away.

One of my favorite bloggers – Leo Babauta – from Zen Habits just wrote a beautiful post about our need to just be still:

We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time for stillness — and sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then in front of the hyperactive television, doesn’t count as stillness.

This comes at a cost: we lose that time for contemplation, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

Remember the rhythm: We Work. We Walk Away.

Are you taking the time you need to recharge and restore your rhythm?

If you are not – you are paying a cost.

Work. Walk Away.

Rhythm.

Peace,

Frank
