The Sacred Pause – Why Graduation feels so Powerful

The Sacred Pause – Why Graduation feels so Powerful13 Jun14 min

Some moments in life feel different.

They seem to stop time.

A graduation.

A wedding.

The birth of a child.

A final goodbye.

This weekend, while attending my nephew’s graduation, I expected to feel pride and joy.

What I didn’t expect was a profound sense of remembrance.

As I watched the procession, listened to the music, stories and witnessed another generation crossing a threshold into a new chapter of life, I felt something ancient stirring beneath the surface.

A knowing.

A recognition.

A sacred pause.
