Courage to put it down
I have benefited so much from pointing my attention to what is silent, what is still, what is not moving; what is not going to be or has been already. Circumstances in our lives call for thoughts and action and doing something; being someone, responding in some way. But to actually have the courage really to just put all of that aside, all of our ideas about ourselves and other; what our lives mean and what it is all for; how we want others to change and what we want to change in ourselves. To actually just dare to let all of that fall away and be still. It is so nourishing in a life.
