Stillness is our source and our destination. From stillness we rose, and to it we will return. Our life is the living out of a cycle -- from nothing, to something, then back to nothing. Stillness/nothingness, then, is as much a part of us as movement/somethingness. Let's remember to honor that fact in our daily lives. When was the last time that you were awake for a bit of nothingness?
Interesting that we say, "I was born", implying that something else bore us, but we say, "we die", as if we're on our own for that one. What really happens, of course, is that we are born, and we are died, of our own choosing (which is in collaboration with all of Life) and for our own purpose (again, collab). We enter and leave this world in the same way: by the grace and wonder of all of Life.
