He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. ~ Albert Einstein.
There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration. ~ Lewis Carroll
To pause means to take....
a brief suspension.
a temporary rest.
a time of reflection.
a momentary stop.
a little breather.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. Maybe it's not so much about knowing when to make decisions or take action as much as it is about knowing when to pause. When to be silent. When to wait. When to "hold".
The music has faded and the curtains drawn. It's time for an intermission. This young lady (that's me!) is off to find her dressing room. I am going to take the time to pause.
The only sound is the click-clacking of my heels echoing in the corridor. By the way, my dressing room is the one with a gold star on the door. You have one too.
Act II will surely be worth the wait.
I like that.
