Recently, I sat on a stone seat in a small Greek harbour, gazing out over the water after witnessing a Good Friday procession called the Epitaphios. A local couple joined me. We chatted gently about the ritual, the view, and the quietness of it all. 

We ended up walking back to the village together slowly. The next day, we ran into each other again. Within minutes, plans were made to share Easter Sunday lunch. That lunch turned into hours of stories, laughter, and deep connection. 

New friends. Just like that. 

Reflecting on it, the two things made that moment possible were: Openness. Time. 

And those two ingredients are so often missing in leadership and service. 

We’re scheduled. Rushed. Measuring success by how fast we move from task to task. And yet, the quality of our impact lives in the space between the doing. 

We think service is something we give. But it’s actually a frequency we tune into. 

And tuning in takes time. Not always clock time, but soul time.

Spaciousness. A willingness to be still enough to feel someone’s energy. To listen deeply. To see people fully. 

In my book, The Future of Service is 5D, I write about five dimensions of human service. The one this moment captured most is the spiritual dimension. 

Because service isn’t just about what you do. 
It’s about who you are while you’re doing it. 

This week, ask yourself the following questions: 
Are you giving time to tune in? Or are you just rushing through the song?
