Not Easy

being still is not easy

when the body slows
and steadies–
the mind comes alive
restless

sometimes we will
strain against the ropes
other times
we will embrace them gladly

to be still
in both mind and body
is a daily
lifelong
practice
only the few
will find victory in

fortunately
victory is not
the ultimate goal

the journey
towards finding
inner moments of awareness
peace
tranquillity
is the true reward
of knowing
how to
be
still

How about you?
Do you find it easy to be still?

      Hopefully not someone you don’t like… 😂

      I knew an Alison before there was a Christian in the picture. Not I can’t remember his name, but it was a great story (still is).

        I miss Alison.
        Where can I find her again? Also, I think she would enjoy this artist’s sketch:

        Nice. Yes, I think she’d get a kick out of that. This is the best place to follow Alison and her adventures. https://books2read.com/b/bzAn2Z
