Being in motion while we’re in stillness is one of those wonderful paradoxes that breaks us free of feelings of limitation or restriction. It’s one reason that we can feel so peaceful traveling by a train. There’s a magic to it. It’s why when our ship’s sails are unfurled, and the wind fills them and the boat is pushed onward, we feel a great sense of amazement and delight. Try to hold two opposing feelings at the same time and in the same place: Imagine you’re moving through space and at the same time you’re inwardly still. Everything is in motion: the ocean, the wind, our planet, the sun, our galaxies, and the galaxies beyond. But within each moment there is a core of stillness that simply exists. Feel the power of that sensation – let the wind carry you while your heart remains quietly thrilled.
