Look for the gaps, that space between thoughts, the natural occurrence after an unexpected noise, shock or moment of awe. Just being present like this introduces us to unshakable confidence. Create these gaps by pausing to look at the sky or to listen intently.
Sometimes we are so worn out from our days’ activities we forget to notice our need for recharging. There are still days and places where we can be afforded some tranquility. Renewal is a profound tonic, with sanctuary and rest we can go forth again.
There are three things to treasure: simplicity, patience, and compassion. Simple in your actions and thoughts and you return to the source. Patience with friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate towards yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
Once we have accomplished something, it is tempting to relax and forget about troubling over the details at the finish. These are times when everything appears to be balanced, complete and in harmony. This is the time to recognize the moments that bode change to an unbalanced state.
