A space for reflection
Is there space for reflection in this increasingly crowded and fast-paced world? The world seems to be hurtling towards a crowded and busy future, and I feel, increasingly, like I'm falling behind. This is because I am becoming increasingly aware of the importance of reflection and connection with the present. I have experienced a powerful disruption that has forced me to reconsider my disconnection from family and community, from a sense of being embedded in the lives of my loved ones - I have experienced something that has made me very conscious of the fact that time is limited. And, whenever I become engrossed in the minutae of day-to-day living, and planning for the future, I slip back into an unreflective mode, oblivious to the passing of time and the passing of opportunities for connecting with those who matter. This is not enough.
