A Pause Along the Way: You Are Here. Now.
A soul note to print, pin, & pass on.
Dear Friend,
May these words meet you in your sweet essence.
It’s been a long month on my end — full of revelations, sudden breakthroughs, and an aching need for rest.
As I walk through the shadow years of my life, it’s not always easy to welcome the brightness of summer. There’s beauty in it, yes — but I often feel the urge to step back, to retreat and reconnect with myself.
What I keep returning to, again and again, is this simple truth:
I am here. Now.
Because really, I can’t be anywhere else. No matter how scattered I feel, no matter how far my thoughts wander — this moment is the only place I’ve ever been.
We spend so much energy trying to be more present, as if we’re missing or misplaced. But presence isn’t a destination. It’s a noticing. A soft landing into what’s already happening.
Our lives unfold like a film — one frame at a time. Each “now” dissolves into the next. What we call past and future are just stories told by this moment.
So I ask you, beloved —
Where are you, now?
And how did you get here? Does it excite you?
These special Words for the Way are meant to be printed, pinned nearby, passed along. Let them remind you — and those you love — that you're not lost. You’re already on the path.
I'll be back soon with more.
With love for the road ahead, Antonia x
