Stillness

There is a strong bias in modern society toward ‘doing’.
This bias is not present in nature.
In nature, there is balance between action and rest.

Humankind’s greatest error is the assumption that it is apart from nature.
This is not so.
Even that bias toward action is part of nature’s grand unfolding pattern.
This causes great dissatisfaction.

When activity naturally ceases, enjoy.
Watch feelings of guilt and anxiety arise like bubbles in hot water.

Very to the point. It addresses a truth about how humans believe that they are something not connected to nature. The mantra is action and fight resting. I watch a Robin and he is extremely busy and works tirelessly to build his nest or gather food. However at times he just sits and absorbs the natural world
around him. Watch a squirrel or a Chipmunk. They do what must be done but they seem to accept the role of nature around them. Thanks for your words and thoughts.

Wow. Just the wisdom my soul needed today! Thank you for the perspective that completely changed the way this day was headed. Coincidence that the sun came out from behind the clouds as soon as I finished listening to your voice? I don’t think so 🙏🏼😊

A great reminder of the importance of resting and simply BE in a state of presence and awareness.
