we pause, we give ourselves the chance to see things clearly. To feel things deeply, to think things
differently. When we pause we open ourselves to new possibilities to new perspectives to new
insights. When we pause we empower ourselves to act intentionally and to speak authentically and to
live meaningfully. So pause is not an escape from reality. But pauses and embrace of reality. Force
