    I believe that “the truth of time” can set me free of a sense of urgency. There was a season in my life, perhaps more than one, when I believed that healing could be rushed, that understanding could be forced, and that transformation would arrive in one glorious, thunderous moment. But time has shown me otherwise. When I sit for meditation, I am reminded of the process of returning to the breath, over and again.

     

    I used to think “truth” was something to be lived boldly, vigorously, even urgently. Now I know it is something to simply be with. And, in this slower, more tender rhythm, my relationship to and with time has become less of a destination and more of a process—a gentle unraveling, a quiet homecoming.

     

    For me, there is a painful, necessary beauty in letting go of urgency. Coming to terms with “the truth of time” has helped me to make peace with temporal impermanence. It has whispered, not shouted. It has been offering me new understandings, slowly, one breath at a time.
