Stillness Is The Presence Of Trust
The world is moving fast right now, and you are standing still. That silence feels dangerous, like laziness wearing a mask of wisdom.
You worry that if you stop performing, you will be exposed as empty. But the light does not need your noise to exist.
There is a difference between the paralysis of fear and the peace of presence. The seed grows while the farmer sleeps, working without his striving.
You are not failing because you are quiet. You are finally letting the light do what only it can do.
Stillness is not the absence of work; it is the presence of trust.

Mark, Gospel of Thomas
Verses
Mark 4:27, Thomas 51
