Except for the point, the stillpoint,
There would be no dance
And there is only the dance
- T.S. Elliot
What does the stillpoint mean in your life?
Is it a stop to alter direction? Is it a resting place before your next surge of momentum? Can you move from the frenzy of worrying to a place of stillness?
Will you bow to your ego and laugh?
For high energy individuals, progress requires intensity in all activities. A stillness and form of meditation will provide ways to trick sprinter minds into observation and silence. Intuitive juices will come out and dance.
You may need to cancel a day of rigid appointments and find time to stare at the clouds. Notice what percolates in without forcing anything.
Don't permit exhaustion or frustration to set in before you take a break. Next time you are in a flow of positive activity - Stop. Condition yourself to quit when in a joyful time.
Permit solitude to arrive in a variety of forms from silence in sounds, an absence of tastes and textures to a bombardment of newness in sensations.
A change of direction enables momentum to arise anew.
You will return to the dance of life revived.
