Standing Still in Fast Paced Times
What to make of the time between goals? Those times when you aren't where you want to be, you can't go back and you think you might be stuck.
Alexa Gilmour returns to West Hill to help us reflect on these important moments.
Reading - - The Trough by Judy Brown
There is a trough in waves, a low spot
where horizon disappears and only sky
and water
are our company.
And there we lose our way
unless
we rest, knowing the wave will bring us to its crest again.
There we may drown
if we let fear
hold us in its grip and shake us
side to side,
and leave us flailing, torn, disoriented. But if we rest there
in the trough,
in silence,
being in the low part of the wave, keeping our energy and
noticing the shape of things,
the flow,
then time alone
will bring us to another
place
where we can see
horizon, see land again,
regain our sense
of where
we are,
and where we need to swim.
