A few lines called ‘The World Goes On’ ~Author Unknown

If we pause for a brief moment and briefly forget all that we have to do. If we can pause for those few moments and forget everything. We will then make a surprising discovery, that the world actually goes on without us. This means that all we do and all our rushing about is not as important as we imagine. If we can realise this, that the world will actually go on without us, a healing process begins. We begin to relax in the presence of God. We realise that the most important thing is just being ourselves. We surrender ourselves into the hands of God. We are at peace. Even our dreams are put to rest.
