We have to develop and alchemise silence and stillness
It’s the only way to give life perspective
If we’re always moving, thinking and feeling
How can we give it context without anything to compare it with?
The amount of time and focus we give to each is important
When we develop silence and stillness
We can see everything objectively
We can develop insight and wisdom
This gives value and insight into our thoughts, feelings and activities
When we mindlessly engage in life
We’re asleep at the wheel
Our locus of power is external
When we add the power of silence and stillness
We’re awake and our locus of power is internal
We’re no longer fools and subjects
To our emotions and random thoughts
And the external forces that seek to control us.
