Järvelle?

Huomenta!

Tänään LAKE



“The subdued pastels of the early morning light quietly announce that the night is over and the sun is rising. The lake itself has not awakened from its rest and remains still and undisturbed. It welcomes the coming day, ready to respond with grace and fluidity to whatever currents and movements appear in its belly or upon its skin. The surrounding vegetation thrives from the abundant water near the shoreline, and the unoccupied boat lies in wait for its next passenger. All is at rest in this scene.

  It is in the deep, internal stillness that we find our Being and come to know that we are intimately united with all of Creation. To achieve this mindset, we must slow down once in a while and get away from the surroundings that interfere and distract our inner tranquility. When we do so, this profound stillness is available at all times, regardless of the environment.
We can experience this sensation with steady, conscious breathing; or we can simply pause for a few moments and be still. The tempo of life these days has sped up considerable, and there seems to be no end to this quickening pace. Immersed as we are in the technological whirlpool, there seems no escape. However, there is no need to be a prisoner to the “hurry up” syndrome, nor is there a need to feel trapped by the awareness of the collective intensities that massive numbers of humans are experiencing these days.

No matter if the noise is from your environment or your seemingly nonstop thinking, it is critical for you to seek stillness. Find it in your world, whether it is a special place in your home or a place in Nature that is far from human made noise. Of particular importance is finding it inside yourself, which can be made easier by being in a quiet place in a natural setting. Doing so not only relaxes your mind, but also heightens your awareness and senses.”

Väkisinkin ajatukset alkavat aina välillä olla mökillä. Mökillä on järvi, mutta valitettavasti näinä aikoina emme pysty sinne menemään...Lunta on nimittäin aivan liikaa! Emme pääsisi perille. Ihanaahan se silti on, että on mökki joka odottaa asujiaan ensi kesänä. Nyt nautimme talvesta. Olemme saarroksissa. Joka paikassa on niin paljon lunta, että nyt ei pysty autolla liikkumaan oikeastaan minnekään.

Rauhallista päivää!
