This Is the Time to Be Slow

This is the time to be slow,

Lie low to the wall

Until the bitter weather passes.

Try as best you can, not to let

The wire brush of doubt

Scrape from your heart

All sense of yourself

And your hesitant light.

 

If you remain generous,

Time will come good;

And you will find your feet

Again on fresh pastures of promise,

Where the air will be kind

And blushed with beginning.

 

John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us: A book of Blessings

 

This poem has brought me great comfort in the last few weeks and I hope it does the same for you. We are missing you all here at Double Happiness and are looking forward to being together in person again. Until then, let’s bless the space between us with hope, compassion and love. 

Please know we are still here for you should you need anything or simply want to connect. You can reach us via phone, email or can schedule a video session here.
