Selāh
Start where you are.
_________
Selāh ( Hebrew: סֶלָה ) is a concept word, an instruction on how music or words should be read,
which translates approximately as "Pause. Listen" or... stop and think about it.
Back in the day when I was a nice person and read the Bible fairly regularly, I often drifted into the Psalms, where this instruction abounds. This direction played its part in making the words immediate and real and exciting. I felt the human experience was continuously ancient and new and that the rhythm of the heart could be altered in a beautiful way. Thanks for reminding me.

Perfect sentiment. Pure and simple inspiration and motivation.
But, my first thought when I saw this photo...
I'll bet you don't have any water without a crust of ice on top right now!
Once now and then you come across something just begging to have its photo taken. Perfect.
Sweet!
