Before any action,
before any thought,
the Stillness ... exists.
Accessible to all,
to dip your ladle,
to stir your pot
or
to let it all come to rest
and discover the clarity
contained in the Stillness.
The Stillness remains completely unchanged
however much your own personal pot
may boil over
or become agitated and opaque.
In every moment
realize you are at choice
to offer and embrace clarity or confusion.
Open to the Stillness.
Allow yourself to be washed clean.
Offer all that troubles you to the Stillness.
Offload your sadness and grief.
Become the messenger of a newly discovered peace.
Speak openly your deepest honesty.
Demonstrate,
Articulate,
through behavior,
the reverence and responsiveness
born within your own manifestation of the Stillness.
