Just stop for a second.
You can't. Everyone is rushing. Everything is the hailstorm of motion that we have to endure these days. Life is a cycle. This is all obvious. What's not is the fact I'm standing still RIGHT now. It past already, since I wrote this, but I was standing still. There was nothing going on. I can do this whenever I want. I'm no different than anyone else. I would assume everyone has the capacity to still themselves in a moment, or more. The thing is most people could never tell this was happening to you. So am I too find it odd when I see someone, and behind the face I see stillness when they are choosing it?
All to often we reject ourselves as flesh and blood, perhaps maybe even a soul. Flesh and blood doesn't live on its own. I believe our strength goes beyond such things. The power of emotions, of creations, of human achievement. Let that be always in motion. Let that never stand still. That power is key. You cannot imagine it though until you can imagine standing still, for a long time. To be trapped or voluntarily stranded from time in all aspects but the most simple and physical ones. Once you percieve this though, you become more than just a person. Respect of things greater than yourself, but understanding that without you things greater would never be possible. This is key. The key.
I just need a locked door.
