What a beautiful and nourishing post, a gentle reminder to us all the power of slowing down and just being. I love that you re-found your love of reading whilst you paused, the perfect thing to slow you down. I hope that you are able to find more pauses as we move into this time of slowing down.

As always, your writing touches something in my core. Of course I can relate! (Can't we can all relate?) To the rush and crush of modern living. Always doing, being, going. Listening to you read this piece was pure balm for my soul. Thanks for taking the time, during this much-needed break, to pop in to write and record this essay. It's beautiful. Wishing you many happy hours of reading and "underachieving" (which is really just a different form of "achievement")!
