Sunday is our deep breath. The place where motion stops, but momentum builds.Â
As the saying goes, âStillness is not the absence of movement, but the presence of everything that matters.â
In this Beyond the Map episode, we explore the strength found in slowing down. Weâll reflect on Joseph Campbellâs reminder that the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek, and how daily silence can reveal the truths weâre often too busy to notice.Â
