And here we are—more than halfway through the year…
When that dawns on us, we can sometimes feel that we have to "speed up" our process and practice. Some of us feel a "quickening" along with the need to accomplish "all" that we'd intended to, yet haven't up to this point.
That can shift our energy into a frenetic pace—gotta do / gotta get / gotta finish—as if this makes us more productive. In reality, though, it just has us spinning our wheels and dashing from Point A to Points B, C, D, etc. To what end? What does this quality of energy really give us?
When we're all over the place, it's as though we've split Our Selves into many smaller pieces and have scattered them about. And we wonder why our intentions, tasks, and accomplishments can be so incomplete?
Let's draw on the wisdom of Hafiz and remember that "A pitcher needs a still cup." This is a great reminder that when we stand our ground and allow Our Selves to trust and receive, many riches can then come our way. Do you have "A Still Cup" (2:54)?
