最近的我一直在思考，自己在靈性成長的道路上走到哪一個階段，也想了解下一步真正想前往的方向。
在日常的小片刻裡，慢慢發現內心其實已經在給答案。
那個「停一下」的空間，常常是在靜心練習裡培養出來的。
當能夠看到觸發與反應之間的那一點點空隙時，心就會更誠實，也更柔軟。
或許方向不需要一次想得很清楚，只要願意慢慢走，答案就會在前面的路上自然浮現。
Something subtle became noticeable this week. A moment of tension arose during a work conversation, and instead of getting swept up in the usual quick reactions, there was a small pause. In that pause, the tightening in the body and the familiar storyline starting in the mind became clearer. Just noticing it changed the whole tone of the moment.
Nothing external shifted. The situation stayed the same and the other person stayed the same. But the inner response softened. A little more calmness appeared, and even a bit of warmth. It felt like the reaction came from a steadier, more genuine place instead of old patterns.
What became really clear is that this tiny space in between the trigger and the reaction does exist. It is small, almost easy to miss, but it is there. And for many people, including myself, meditation has been one of the key ways to open that door. A few minutes of daily practice slowly builds the ability to notice that little space more often.
For the rest of the week, this insight lingered quietly in the background. Whenever tension appeared, there was a gentle reminder to slow down and see if there was room to respond differently. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t. But the overall feeling was lighter.
Maybe this is how growth unfolds most of the time. Quietly. In tiny shifts. In moments where the heart softens just a little. And maybe that is already enough.
