To learn to concentrate without effortand to transform work into playI need to have and hold a zone of silencein my soul.
We carried our grief to the ocean's edge, sat quiet in the sand; the sorrow softened as the waves washed over them and the brilliance of the morning sun upon the shimmering waters filled our hearts with wonder.
Sink down into the center of each flowering moment. What if the moment does not flower? Sink down into the center of the moment. What if I can't find the center? Sink down into the moment. What if the moment is gone? Sink down. What if I can't sink down? Then be still. The moment will find you. The center will surround you. The flower will bloom within you.
