In this episode of Seema Speaks, I reflect on the quiet power of pausing — especially at the crossroads we encounter in daily life.

Whether it is a red light on a walk or a moment of emotional stillness, these pauses offer more than delay. They offer presence.

I share how stopping at a signal has become a ritual: a chance to catch my breath, observe the world around me, and turn inward.

Quoting from Davies’ poem, — simple, but unforgettable: “What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.”This episode lingers in that moment — the hush before movement, the breath before decision.

A gentle invitation to honour the signals that ask us to slow down — and to find meaning in the spaces between.
