Movement in stillness

To be still with what is, allows you to be with what is

You’re not trying to force a river but you’ve let go of the shore, no longer resisting the flow, the change, the movement. 

There is movement even in stillness

Energy is constantly moving within us, around us, between us.. in objects, shapes, designs, our material possessions, the food we eat, the people we are with, the music we listen to. Through nature – the trees as they stretch their branches high into the sky, with their roots twining their way through the earth.

The sun gazing it’s warmth upon the landscapes as it feeds the life beneath it, revealing a vibrancy of colour for our eyes. Growing & fading as it beams & dims its rays in shades of light, rising & setting in sync with the movement of night to day & day to night. 

Birds tweeting as the day awakens, wind whistling through the speed of air, insects evolving through the changing seasons, flowers growing into their beauty with the passing of time. 

The vibrations of sound buzzing..

The rhythm, the beat, the harmony of instruments that can be created through the pull of a string, the glide of a bow, the press of a key. 

An orchestra of sound.. to listen, to feel.. a dance, a creation of emotion, passion, opinions, memories.

The thoughts that surface in our minds, the intentions we choose, the decisions we make. Our moments of inspiration, appreciation, awareness, they are all movement, even with no action. 

We are continually moving even when we feel don’t see change. Life is always moving through us & around us, but even the choice to sit in stillness is movement in itself.

Perhaps it is just hidden from the eye, because it’s not for the eye to see but for the heart to feel. 

Find a moment to be with stillness in your day, eventually you may notice movement without action. We don’t need to rush to feel, we don’t need to do to live, we just are – we just is…
