At the heart of being,
Visualize a lake.
When the lake is flat and calm,
And nothing is moving,
The potential power of that mass of water is enormous.
The first ripple across the surface is the first manifestation of that power.
Similarly,
Within our consciousness,
Our self,
When we are calm and silent,
We are at our most powerful.
In the external world of nature,
The mirror-like quality of the lake,
The calm and serene state of the lake,
Attracts our attention.
We seem to recognize this form of natural beauty and resonate with it from a place deep within our own nature.
Perhaps it's because it represents and mirrors our own true,
Natural,
And original state.
Similarly,
If you are in the presence of someone who is completely calm,
Someone who seems to carry a certain serenity into everything they do,
It is as if they give off the fragrance of peace.
It is a fragrance that also attracts our attention because it resonates with the heart of our being,
Which is at its core of the same nature.
Sit for a few more moments and savor the enormous potential of the stillness of your silent being.
Thank you.
