Beautiful, James. Unfortunately, these are the questions that we often only think to ask when times are tough. I’m grateful for saints like Mary Oliver and Robin Wall Kimmerer who remind us that the beauty of connection was there all along. Thanks for this invitation to wake up to this reality again today.
what a beautifully uplifting call to connect to what truly matters in this lifetime, thank you james. living at “the speed of soul” kept coming to mind as i read your poem. my own metrics at the moment include the number of times in a day i can mindfully take long, soothing deep breaths when shallow breathing has snuck in amidst a stress storm, to be able wash the dishes and only think about washing the dishes (!), and how many people i connected to in any modality to remind them i love them just to make sure they remember it like a song that keeps playing rather than a tune they once heard long ago on the radio but is a faint fade now.

Thank you, Andy. I think many of us have been asking these questions for years...
