Question

In this modern world, we rush around all day. There is no   48  for stillness.

And when we are 49  to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often find something to do. Being still isn’t something we’re  50 .

This comes at a   51  : we lose that time for  52 , for observing and listening. We lose peace. And   53   yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around , but get nothing done.

Take a moment to think about how you spend your days. Are you always  54 through your schedule? Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be  55 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. Just be in the moment.
