I’ve hurled myself through life
Pushed myself for so long that
it has always felt like normal speed
But something has stopped me of late
(My own body and spirit, I suspect)
And now I am practicing my amble
I am unraveling the ball of spin within
Going to find the real speed of me
Beyond the Skinny Branches 
Practicing our own amble – alas, something we all need to do eventually. It’s hard when forced upon us though before we’re ready. I went through that slow down myself years ago because of chronic pain. But in some ways it was a blessing in disguise. Enjoying the “amble” now… Hope you find your own sweet pace to be as rewarding. 🙂

Though challenging, it is a gift for me. Really clearing and taking stock in a deeper way than I would have if still “pursuing” so hard. Thanks for relating!
