Finding moments of stillness can bring a sense of peace and tranquility to our lives from "summary" of The Art of Stillness by Pico Iyer
In a world that never seems to slow down, finding moments of stillness can be a rare and precious gift. These moments allow us to step back from the chaos and noise of daily life, giving us the opportunity to quiet our minds and reconnect with ourselves. When we take the time to be still, we create space for reflection and introspection, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of our thoughts and emotions. In these moments of stillness, we can find a sense of peace and tranquility that is often elusive in our busy lives. By letting go of distractions and focusing on the present moment, we can experience a profound sense of calm that can soothe our frazzled nerves and restore our sense of balance. This peace is not something that can be found in the external world; it is a state of being that comes from within. Through practicing stillness, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace that stays with us even when the world around us is in turmoil. This inner peace can act as a source of strength and resilience, helping us navigate life's challenges with grace and equanimity. By making stillness a regular part of our lives, we can create a sense of stability and groundedness that allows us to weather the storms of life with greater ease.- Finding moments of stillness is not about escaping from the world, but about finding a place of refuge within ourselves. It is about creating a sanctuary where we can come home to ourselves and find peace in the midst of chaos. In these moments of stillness, we can find solace, clarity, and the strength to face whatever life may bring our way.
