It's one thing to stop and become aware of the undeniable beauty around you. It's another to live a life of stillness that can't help but be conscious of the subtle beauty everywhere.
Stillness is a deep discipline. To tame the noise of the distracted soul until you become lost in majesty, splendor, and grandeur.
Fear, worry, and doubt are homeless in the heart that knows how to be still. We listen best in silence. It's a canvas for renewed awareness and capacity.
A well-tended inner stillness is a thermostat that will create an atmosphere of calm in the external mayhem, regardless of where you go.
Some people are just thermometers that measure how bad the chaos is. They don’t know how to regulate or subdue their chaos.
Some people are thermostats of peace, regulating the chaos around them into submission to the calm within them. Stillness enables you to define circumstances and not be defined by them.
