Movement, calmness

Sometimes, its not about the zen aphorism of being still in the midst of movement. Excessive movement drives one inwards towards a calm centre- where one truly does not move. Where time stops still and nothing matters- because you have it ALL.

The pendulum of the mind oscillates from calm to movement. In the midst of movement one longs for calm- in the midst of calm one perceives the movement that is overt and subtle. Truly one is both the calmness and the movement- yet beyond both- the one who perceives both and yet is neither.

All calmness which is not the witness's is temporary and merely part of a movement. The truly calm centre as described above is from identification with the witness.
