Olivia,
That sense of being “rushed” is such a thief, don’t you think? That is my conclusion, anyway. It robs me/us of all of the richness of what is right in front of us right now. I also walked away being reminded on slowing down! I hear that in your comment about listening to comprehend, more than respond. It is similarly being present to listen rather than being rushed ahead in time with a response. Thanks for providing me with another reminder.
