To Be Vs. To do

Garnet Lake

Have you felt the power of your own stillness?

The water gets so still that it fully embraces all around it in a simple reflection.

When do you get still? Do you know how to get still?

We have this thing in our American culture that if you’re not doing, you’re not “being”. Being successful, being productive, being smart.

And I say, that if you’re not being, you’re not “doing”. Not doing yourself and those around you a solid.

Finding the quiet is not easy. But once it is found, you will tap into the rejuvenating and life affirming source that is, “To Be”.
