"a moment so long-drawn-out all time pauses"

When you take a minute--five, ten, twenty minutes--to stop everything and become connected with yourself, with God, with the universe, Time stretches out and expands.

When I use those twenty minutes I might spend aimlessly wandering Facebook or staring at my books thinking, "I should start that paper," to focus, really focus--everything else becomes easier to focus on.

When I center myself, things tend to fall into place.
