There are days when I feel stuck. No matter the amount of effort I push onto my life, I simply must sit and be. And being sometimes feels like someone telling you to enjoy a spot of tea…in quicksand. I know I should lean into these moments, embrace the art of stillness, but everything in me wants to fight back. I want to raise my fists and show Stuck what I'm made of.

But that's not the point.

Some of life's greatest ideas and achievements were born in moments of stillness, moments when you feel the world is moving on without you. I know this is true, but it's sometimes hard to believe. On this beautiful Good Friday, I'm leaning into my fear of being stuck and thanking God for the opportunity to grow.

Speaking of growing, I found this art piece while surfing the web and it was one of the most beautiful city trees I've ever seen. The artist attribution is included at the end.
