This Friday, let's choose the alphabet 'S' for STILLNESS.
We often confuse being still -which is being at peace, with immobile which is being stationary. Under the stress of life, we find ourselves saying things we don't mean, doing things without thinking them though and taking decisions which we live to regret - why?, because we often function on a reaction mode....always reacting to things happening to us, moving us into some particular action not feeling. This becomes us placing our peace on externalities which we have no control over, rather than finding within us, a space where can yoke ourselves and be still. Perhaps on this Friday, let's be at peace - with ourselves.

On Pain By Khalil Gibran "Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses
your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its
heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the
daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem
less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart,
even as you have always accepted the seasons that
pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity through the
winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within
you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy
in silence and tranquillity:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by
the tender hand of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has
been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has
moistened with His own sacred tears."

To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.
