Moments — the beauty that's in a pause.

Moments — the beauty that's in a pause.

Sometimes, if you happen to take the time to look, you may see something that will cause you take a moment and pause — and in that pause you may simply take the time to appreciate what you are experiencing, or take the time to wonder, or to question something, or even change the way you think about the world around you.

The beauty of the pause is not only what you are able to see in the moment but it’s also in the act of pausing itself. In pausing, you give yourself permission to be part of a world that is infinitely bigger than yourself, and offers perspective to what you call existence.

I was on a dock (on a lake) just watching a sunset — all something I’ve done countless times. This moment though had me pause and capture it, reflect on it, and share. Why did this moment cause me to pause? Was it because I hadn’t seen something so beautiful before, or was it because I hadn’t seen a sunset with such reflections, or was it the colours? Whatever the reason, for the rest of the night I was pausing to consider the setting of the moon, the abundance of the stars, the joy of being with good friends, and the sounds of nature all around us.

I think as I watched the sunset I discovered holism.

PS : ho·lism [ˈhōlˌizəm] NOUN — the theory that parts of a whole are in intimate interconnection, such that they cannot exist independently of the whole, or cannot be understood without reference to the whole, which is thus regarded as greater than the sum of its parts. Holism is often applied to mental states, language, and ecology.

There is a different type of pause which is not time related but groove related. I think that when we circulate the same thoughts or feelings in our mind and heart, those thoughts create a groove and if we are not careful that groove can become a depression. So the non-time related pause is a pause in circulating thoughts, replaced by fresh perspective or a spring clean of the mind. Silence might be one option but also there is mastery, and mastery of our own thoughts can provide an opportunity to explore new and fresh avenues rather than get stuck in the grooves that we can begin to revolve in.

It is a very healthy thing to do and in that regard "pause" is a powerful measure, but such is the reality of existence that "balance" is the measure people use. Balance means we are still juggling things, but pause is the means to see what we are juggling and create the space in our minds to unjuggle our existence.
