Sometimes we just have to stop.

We have to cease, desist, and standstill.

 

Standing still enhances our visual acuity.

Only in standing still can we fully see our lives, as standing still permits us the ability to see from every angle, a panoramic view of life and all that it has to offer.

Standing still we can see how far we have come and how much further we have left to go.

Standing still gives us an opportunity to breathe, to rest, to empty ourselves so that we can be refilled.

Standing still refuels our spirits, just as sleep refreshes the body and the mind.

At times our lives become too harried, our minds to cluttered, our lives messy.

We cannot think straight and as a result, the smallest of injuries or issues are magnified and we lose a sense of presence and reality. We lose all that we are or hope to be in the madness.

Dishonoring the sacred nature of stillness by attempting to fill it with anything imaginable demonstrates our disconnect with ourselves and thus with the world.

But this is not unusual, for we fear being left alone with ourselves.

We fear solitude.

Alas, we must embrace this bedfellow, stillness, and reclaim the power to manifest our destiny.
