Scott, truly inspiring words. I've been meaning to read your posts, but maybe I am not slowing down enough. That's why your post "Slow Down, Be Still" caught my attention and I paused to read it first. Loved every word and what caused me to stop were your profound words " letting go of my obsession with productivity" as if you were talking to me. As I get older, there is wisdom that our bodies slow down that we may have a chance to be better in tune with our Creator and His Eternal Plan. Scott, thank you for sharing these thoughts and words.
My friend Alvaro! Finding and keeping quiet places is hard work. And it’s even harder to keep the quiet inside our selves isn’t it? I still struggle with this and have to work at it all the time. ❤️ you brother.
Thank you SO MUCH for asking. I wrote this long enough ago that I couldn't even find WHERE I had found it nor could I validate the source. Therefore...I found a better (and better-sourced) one! I've updated the post to reflect this. I'll do a better job of double-checking those sources and quotes going forward. Thanks Daniel!
My friend - how delighted I was to see your comment. These are very personal moments, to be sure. I hope my sharing wasn't out of bounds. All my love to you and L.

Thank you brother.
BTW, Scott, did Kierkegaard's quote really include the phrase "twenty-first century"?

I relate to this moment very strongly. I've had one like it -- but not for describing here.
Thank you for sharing!
