Eloquence Of Silence

First, such a beautiful post and the illustration lending itself to so many interpretations... That itself created space! Thank you. My yoga teacher, a wonderful young man in his thirties, often quotes from Patanjali and asks to drop all action, tension and anxiety that comes from doer-ship. ' I do nothing, I want nothing, I am nothing' is what he reminds us to do even if for a couple of minutes. That letting go of the (misplaced) belief that I am the doer creates expansion for me, at least the possibility of it starting with resting in that moment. Otherwise, running around like a plucked chicken believing that if I didn't hurry up and did not multitask, I would be leaving something undone which is very important. The fact, sometimes in hindsight, sometimes if I am lucky, right then, I can see how just sitting back and gazing out is so relaxing. And then everything done from that space is beautiful, even if it isn't complete. Meditation helps me to deliberately sit down physically to allow my runaway mind to also rest a while. Deliberately pausing and looking for the right, more restful words to express my emotion is hugely liberating too. I want to then emulate what I have written. It is still not a way of my being. It will be when it will be.
