"Sometimes, take a moment and ponder;
yes, take a moment and stir your life
just as you stir that delicious stew!"
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
While fixing my morning cup of coffee, I was reminded of one of the sweetest women I knew. She would place sugar in the bottom of her cup, then the coffee, and finally the cream; but she would not stir it which was a mystery to me. Finally, I refrained from giving my cup of java a swirl and discovered layers of yummy coffee.
Life is just like this when we take time to ponder allowing every thing to have its own space. Cream surfaces to the top where we hold the most uplifting thoughts. Then we drop down to the mid layer for bitter sweet memories. The bottom is the surprise as we find sweetness waiting for us.
Unfortunately, if we remain in this layered pause, our life will become stuck and not move forward. It is part of the human condition to stir the pot, get things moving, and add new spices to life. Mix it up for variety or update. Bring fresh awareness into our life and after pondering, it is okay to take another pause!
