The things you can only see when you slow down : A book recommendation

Art spotlight at Revenir will bring you art which promises to be your companion in your journey towards home! The art we share is soulful, makes us feel all the emotions (most of good art does that) and ultimately, moves something within us.

The first art we want to spotlight is very close to my heart, something which gave me the strength to believe that it is possible to articulate some of the dissatisfactions I was having in my life by just dividing it into professional and personal, and there’s an area beyond these two, which needs my attention.

It is the book “The things you can see only when you slow down” by Haemin Sunim. This book is filled with beautiful illustrations and even more beautiful words, which soothes our perspective of looking at the world, provides calmer insights and challenges us in the most tender ways to look at life a bit differently.

Each chapter is dedicated to one aspect of our individual lives, like Passion, Rest, mindfulness and many more – for each of the topic, there is one or more essay, beautiful illustrations, and some meaningful quotes in the context of the topic.

One may read the book in any order, or randomly open a page – and consume the wisdom shared on the page, and it becomes a lifelong companion to ground ourselves back into calm of existence. It’s always been my bed side, and has helped me navigate a lot of spontaneous, urgent situations – where my mind has been into stress mode ; and one or two lines from this book has acted as those stress busters, meditation or grounding – whatever we want to call it!

This book, definitely promises to be a great companion for your journey towards home to yourself.
