My nervous system needs a reset

Seeing a deer pause in the quiet woods taught me that stillness isn’t inaction; it’s the moment your spirit gathers enough truth to rise again.

The last couple of weeks have been incredibly busy. Again, I have been challenged to prioritize the needs of others.

My nervous system, which had been on overdrive, needed a reset. So, a few days early, I packed everything up from our temporary winter home and headed back to the cottage.

My husband went to visit his mother in the hospital for a few days.

Shortly after unpacking and having a light dinner, I looked out the window and saw a deer. I stepped outside to take the picture above. The deer stood at the top of our driveway, looking right into my eyes.

As I gazed at it, I felt a sense of peace, a reminder to slow down, to embrace inner calm and divine presence during this time of uncertainty.
