Still the Waters
“Poetry is what you find
in the dirt in the corner,
overhear on the bus, God
in the details, the only way
to get from here to there.”
― Elizabeth Alexander
“Acceptance is a small, quiet room.” – Cheryl Strayed
Some days.
Struggle bus.
Part of the journey.
Tough days are talking to us.
Pause to listen, to observe, to stop doing or avoiding.
What are we carrying we don’t need to?
Be still and rest.
The answers surface when we stop stirring the water with activity.
Still water, keen senses, rapt attention.
Listen.
Emergence.
Bus stop ahead.
“If you want to understand your mind, sit down and observe it.”― Joseph Goldstein, One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism
