Be still? Ha! We laugh in the face of being still. Why would we do that? If you don’t know, thanks to the world of technology gifting us immediate answers, all you really need is about 3-5 minutes.

I’ve been thinking about the senses that we choose to trust, while being skeptical of others. And also wonder how we are letting these stories get in our way.
