Stillness

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Mother Teresa

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.

Deepak Chopra

VISITING GRANDPA , LITTTLE GREEN RIDING HOOD AND THE WOLF While visiting G’pa Hy (Naomi’s Dad) in NJ this weekend – we came across these 3 unique individuals The praying mantis was in the garden demonstrating the power of stillness, seemingly in quiet contemplation and prayer. The wolf whom we saw in the Lacota wolf preserve is, contrary to folk tales, “intelligent, non-aggressive, and friendly with the ability to make strong emotional attachments”. The wolf is a social animal and dedicated to the well being of the pack. And Grandpa.. …an angel on earth – to say the least – has all the above qualities and more – the power of stillness, quietness calm and humility .. “intelligent, non-aggressive, and friendly with the ability to make strong emotional attachments”. … dedicated to the well being of the pack And that folks summarises our weekend – of course with Naomi, Talya, Arielle, and Benjy making it all the more pleasurable 311

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance.
