Stillness and Creativity

 "If we are always active, if we are always listening to the noise of the outside world, we forget that our heart will guide us if if only we listen. We forget where the source of our creation comes from - stillness.
...
Stillness establishes a connection with our own heart, and each heart is connected to the heart of humanity, the universal wisdom....
In stillness you can listen to your heart, and when you listen, you will know what you are here to give."

~ an extract from Gautama Chopra 'Child of The dawn'

Terrific photo.
So true Jessie, so very true. We've forgotten we need quiet and stillness to be truly ourselves.

You're very welcome. :)I took this photo of the lone tree yesterday and then happened upon the words last night while I was reading the book. I felt them very appropriate too.xx

A weird thing sometimes, I'm more still in my mind when busy than sitting still. Body busy, mind still!

Jessie! What a beautiful and perfect image for your post. I always love solitary trees. Ah yes, modern society has blindly pushed us to frenzied activity, elation and hedonism. We have lost the art of melancholy.

I've enjoyed some much needed stillness these last few days. So essential to 'recharge our batteries' isn't it?x
