Nearly eight weeks away from home now. Long enough that people keep remarking on how quickly it’s gone and long enough to be more aware of how quickly our girls grow from day to day!
In the Vedic tradition, time is not a straight line — it moves in cycles, kāla, something to be met rather than mastered. The Gita speaks of time as vast, indifferent, the great dissolver of all things. It puts our small daily urgency in a different light.
It has me thinking about how we actually use our time. I don’t think it’s about doing more. I think it’s about holding space — for ourselves, for the things that matter — rather than grinding through every task until we’ve overstretched past what we can hold.
When we do that, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important. And what’s important is different for each of us.
If time feels like it’s slipping too fast, or dragging too slow, the yogic view isn’t to try and control it. It’s to come back to the breath, and to presence — the one place where time softens. Less measuring it, more meeting it.
A daily reminder: we cannot control how fast or slow time moves. We can only control how we use it. Be selective with who, and what, you give your time to xx
