If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose,
becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Chuang Tzu
Coming back from the high Sierra’s I felt a overwhelmed by the busyness around me. Especially, when I went to the gym that first morning with 14 televisions going full blast, each with a different perspective on the world, except for one common element, they all wanted me to buy something. But, what my soul craves is to be in that still place I savor in nature… We all seem to be suffering from Nature Deficit Disorder. Perhaps a walk in nature today would still our busy minds. If not that, let’s take three deep breaths together right now… Can you feel the heartbeat of the earth? She is breathing us. Let go and let her do her work.
Blessings,
Michael
