Thoughts on Self-Care, Being Me and Slowing Down

I find myself today in the quietness of working at home, taking a breathe to reflect a bit, and listening to the funny horn blowing of the ice cream sellers. Here are two quotes that I have enjoyed today.

"Make ready for the Christ, whose smile-like lightning - sets free the song of everlasting glory that now sleeps, in your paper flesh - like dynamite." - Thomas Merton

"If you can't take time to do nothing, you're a slave to doing. Doing nothing is a radical, revolutionary act. It frees you from the universal slavery of our age; slavery to the clock. The clock measures doing but not being." - Peter Kreeft
