Found this wonderful piece courtesy of Rob Bell, with 'anonymous' as the source, but I love it!




Walk, don’t run.
That’s it. 
Walk, don’t run. Slow down, breathe
deeply, and open your eyes because there’s
a whole world right here within this one. The 
bush doesn’t suddenly catch on fire, it’s been
burning the whole time. Moses is simply moving 
slowly enough to see it. And when he
does, he takes off his sandals. Not because
the ground has suddenly become holy, but 
because he’s just now becoming aware that
the ground has been holy the whole time.
Efficiency is not God’s highest goal for your life,
neither is busyness,
or how many things you can get done in one day,
or speed,
or even success.
But walking-
which leads to seeing-
now that’s something.
That’s the invitation for every one of us today
and every day, in every conversation, interaction,
event, and moment: to walk, not run. And in doing
so, to see a whole world right here within this one.
