Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico January 2023
Deep in the Stillness. Tuning in to nature's lessons of winter. Trees losing all their leaves and going dormant.
Snowfall, blanketing the earth. Gentle, sparkling nourishment.
Deep, profound rest. Gathering strength for the freshness and renewal of spring.
Delving deeper into my Zen practice this winter,
I am meditating on Stillness today.
Over & over until I am still.
No boundaries to stillness.
"Kindness is like snow,
it beautifies everything it covers."
- Kahlil Gibran
"With luck, it might even snow for us.”
— Haruki Murakami
