Birds and Buddha Nature: Unraveling the Feathered Zen Masters

The Healing Power of Stillness.

This year has been all about doing less for me. Less screen time. Less busyness. Less drama…Just less. The main reason behind wanting less is to create space for stillness and slowing down.

As Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician and physicist, observed way back in 1654: “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” And I get it, it can feel difficult to truly be still and spend time with ourselves. But the truth is, it’s in these quiet moments that we find clarity, peace, and the opportunity to reconnect with what truly matters. By embracing stillness, we give ourselves the chance to think more deeply, reflect, and restore our energy. Continue reading. >>>
