Find My Still Point

that I begin to wonder if I am still breathing….then other times not so much.

Away from the chatter of senses
From the restless wandering of the mind
There is a quiet pool of stillness.
The Wise call this stillness the highest state of being .
It is the place where we find unity.

Never to become separate again.

Katha Upanishad (5th century BCE)

Compose yourself in stillness
Draw your attention inward
And devote your consciousness to the Self.
For the wisdom you seek lies within.

Bhagavad Gita ( 6th century BCE)

Perhaps I am simply moving to fast to ever accomplish this goal..( note to self)... slow down , apply the brakes, take out that pad of paper, and make note of all the wondrous beautiful things around me, breath deeply, and open my eyes wide…really wide. Reach deep down into the soul, and push that “Pause” button, ..if only for a moment , and remember who you “are”, and who you “want” to become.

Still point….. what exactly does that mean? I think it means different things for different people.
For me it means finding a sense of peace, a sense of calm. A place of inner balance where your spirit and your soul can meet in perfect harmony, in a low, sweet song.
The key is to be able to recognize the notes for what they are, and to follow it to your destined path.
And though the path may be long and narrow, and shrouded in brambles and heavy bush, what lies beyond will be well worth the up’s and downs it took to get there.
