Stillness equates to a blanket of snow during this winter season. Earth's amazing art reminds us of the quiet and slow movements winter's energy provides. The subtle musical note of a delicate snowflake touching the face is a song of instantaneous awareness—an awareness monumental.
I remember as a child lying in the snow, looking up to the heavens, watching the crisp skies dance with the twinkling stars, and feeling one. Somehow in my silent understanding I recognized, I too, am an important thread within the vast universe. I was mesmerized by the sweet song of winter, known within my heart as stillness.
Such is the simplicity of a child’s understanding.
For some of you, this time of year is a celebration while for others, it is nothing more than another day. Whatever you believe and wherever you find yourself, I challenge you to re-discover stillness. With the busyness of your hustle and the intensity of your bustle, always remember stillness is slow movements surrounding and collaborating with your core.
Like Tai Chi Chuan root your feet, breathe in the moment, allow yourself to dance free (as free as the energy surrounding you), and wrap yourself in the stillness of your own heart; you will discover harmony with all that is. (Unpublished Works, 2015) ~ Madeline Gouin
