In this episode ofPonderings of a Pagan Priest, Papa Onyx guides us through the transformative concept of "the power in the pause." Life's rapids—political turmoil, social unrest, and personal struggles—can leave us feeling overwhelmed and reactive. But what if the key to navigating these challenges is not to fight harder, but to pause and gain clarity?

Using the vivid metaphor of white-water rafting, Papa Onyx explores how purposeful stillness can empower us to steer through chaos with wisdom. Discover how to align your actions with your values, avoid reactionary flailing, and fight for what truly matters. Through storytelling, reflection, and practical tips, you'll learn to harness the pause as a moment of strategy and strength.

Join us as we reflect on the balance between action and introspection, finding purpose in each step of life’s journey.
