Wait. Silence.

May action come from a place of fullness and inspiration, not desperation.

The building restlessness, the discomfort, the needing to move, stop, run, go here or there, to simply do something other than what you are doing. The desperate seeking of God in books, people, or groups, this practice or that. The thoughts that will not stop, the wondering, analyzing, trying to “figure out.” The urgency to shed things, to change your surroundings. The conviction that what is cannot be what is best.

All these keep you focused on the physical, on matters outside yourself and outside now.

Sit — unmoving through the seeming necessity to change something (everything).

Sit — through the perceived need to say something you haven’t already said that might “fix” what is not broken.

Sit — through the need to pull or push.

All these are distractions.

Watch: light(ness) deepens.

Wait.

Silence.
