bearing witness

Dear Reader,

What happens in the moment before you act?

That split second, barely noticeable, between feeling something and doing something about it. Do you skip past it, unaware it even existed? Or have you ever lingered, just long enough to notice?

There is a kind of seeing that doesn’t rush to fix. A way of noticing that makes no demands. It is slippery, quiet. It doesn’t call for action, and that can be unsettling in a world where doing is often praised more than being.

Still, what if there’s value in staying with what’s unfolding, even when it stirs something uneasy? In letting the sensation, the emotion, the thought simply exist, without shaping it into something else?

Maybe this week isn’t about resolution. Maybe it’s about watching what arises, with curiosity. Not to change it. Just to see.

Notice where you act too quickly. 

Where you wish you had paused.

Where you tend to look away.

And perhaps, in practicing the art of bearing witness, something subtle begins to shift.

Yours in the journey,
