Pause here for one peaceful moment, out of the channel’s rage. Let the frantic currents flow on without you. Linger in the quiet, calming pool. Accept a few moments of shelter before you must continue onward to whatever awaits around the next bend.

Refresh. Regroup. Regain your strength. When you are ready—and only then—rejoin the flow with a new, more compelling purpose and powerful resources to help you achieve it.
