Pausing

As we go through the days,
may we pause,
often enough,
to sense, to sigh, to smile,
to respire, to rest,
to review, to remember, to reminisce,
to prepare, to plan, 
to ponder, to pray,
to reflect, to receive,
to listen, to learn,
to think, to teach, 
to wait, to write, to wonder,
to examine, to explore,
to see, to be,
to love, to live.
