“The Weekly Bleat: Stillness”
“In stillness the world is restored.”
~Lao Tzu
Just BEING….not doing. Now, that’s the challenge! To lay down our distractions and truly embrace our innermost sense of self or the “I AM” that lives inside of each of us. Busyness and constant outward focus distract us from our true selves. Through stillness or going within, we create an environment for healing. Healing ourselves….healing the world.
**I love the stillness of early morning. This is lucky for me since I live on a farm and get up early to care for our menagerie of animals. I was fortunate to capture “Mr. Moon” before he went to bed.

Thank you. I risked life and limb hanging out of the upstairs bathroom window to get it. And, this was before coffee. 🙂

I don’t normally have coffee before chores; however, it would’ve been preferable to have had some before hanging out of an upstairs window. Alas, I didn’t have time–the moon was setting.

Such a beautiful picture….I think I would frame it to remind myself that in the stillness I find peace.

I go to bed early and would still never see this time of day! 🙂 A farmer, I will never be I think.

Thanks, Prajakta! Actually, we only get that view of the moon two or three times a year.

I only get up that early if I need to go to the loo – look at the sky and then back to my nice warm bed 🙂

Actually I was introduced to Virginia much before in the song ‘country roads, take me home’ by John Denver. You are living that dream I guess.
