Dignified Still Point

Here we are sincerely and directly acting on this urge to be still -quiet. We will most likely sense that THIS is a good desire—it seems to settle and ground us rather than pull us into yet further desire. When we sit still and quiet with nothing else to do or be —except ourselves, we often meet, if only briefly, a deep satisfaction. In that moment, whatever we are is enough. Joko Beck writes: “Only in that instant when we and the object become one can we see what our life is.”
