Sitting still

It’s not that the air is stagnant. It’s just that we’re moving too fast.

Sometimes, to feel the delicate breeze, we have to sit very, very still.

And sitting still runs counter to our usual stimuli.

Rather, sitting still while undistracted — being fully present — is not our usual mode.

But it’s a worthwhile practice.

There is, after all, the delicate breeze that awaits us.
