Reversal

Reflections from the backyard pond

Reversal. Prioritizing the inner stillness instead of the doing is happening naturally. I was curious how the inward state would hold up in the outer world emphasis. So lovely to sit on a park bench watching the birds, listening to the water lapping against the bank, and the whistle of the wind.  Safely sitting in public going inward. Quietly sitting in the back yard going inward,  Silently sitting within the local church going inward.  Patiently waiting while reclining in my car's seat going inward. The tottering walk from the ashram is present as I stand to resume my activities--the walk without the scaffolding.  The depth of connection is present while 1/2 a globe away from the nest.  Grace.
