When the kids were little and when they’d misbehave, I’d send them to “time out.”

“Go to your room and think about what you’ve done!”

There’s still some wisdom in that admonition.

All of our problems stem from our inability to sit quietly in a room alone, the philosopher, Blaise Pascal, suggests.

Being alone with ourselves, especially in this age of noise, can be a scary proposition.

But… in that stillness IS your power.

Take some “time out.”
