Sharing moments of Stillness and Silence
Learning from my tree teachers...
In the fall we must drop our leaves and stretch our roots.
In the winter we must stand in the stillness so that in the spring when life is filled with possibility there is nothing extra holding us back from stretching onward towards the sun.
Our journey is to find the light that seeps through the canopy,
grow with the resources provided to us by the earth,
absorb the vapor of the air.
We must stand tall and be willing to bend when necessary.
Even with cold fingers, chapped skin, and heavy clothes winter days draw me outside to watch the earth turn toward Spring.
The human mind does not have an innate tendency toward stillness. However, because the spirit dwells in it, the mind is still when the spirit is in control. The human mind does not have an innate tendency toward activity. But, because knowledge dwells in it, the mind is active when knowledge is in control. ~ Cultivating Stillness: A Taoist Manual for Transforming Body and Mind translated by Eva Wong
The snow coming down is beautiful.
It is painfully unfair that it is not sticking.
