Beauty in the Stillness

Product Information

I have learned to do this over the past few months, and while it’s not always easy, I think it has been a net positive for my mental well-being. Perhaps it’s an American thing, or a Western Culture concept, but it seems like we dislike “idle time”. Then I heard a distant noise that you aren’t supposed to hear in the middle of the night: a bird chirping. Some other times it becomes a storm and some other times a hurricane; between them it is movement and in the center are always moments of stillness.

How often do we scuttle through the most beautiful chapters of our lives in the haste of snapping selfies or ticking off bucket lists? So the next time you find yourself rushing through life, remember this chance meeting in the halls of the Musée de l'Orangerie. Truth is, I was a pretty mischievous kid and easily found trouble if my time wasn’t filled (even with all these sports, I still managed to drive my parents crazy 😆). Through personal stories and insightful guidance across varying life topics, readers will discover how to connect with their true selves and step into the path of alignment.And though this perspective may be practical in another season of my life- and absolutely be productive for others- I had a hard time connecting with it. For those who yearn to live in the present moment, who seek reflection through heartbreak, comfort during times of loneliness, or guidance while healing, this poetry and essay book explores the transformative power of mindfulness and reflection.

You are more than your past, more than your pain, more than the story you keep telling yourself—you are a living testament to survival and transformation.This book is a solid foundation of the highs and the lows that we all encounter at different periods of our lives.

The beauty of stillness is indescribable; it is to be listened to, felt and experienced; it is to be lived in the wonder of the Universe.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. After the obligatory consoling, reassuring and re-tucking in that we’ve lived through so many times, my wife and I plopped back into our bed and tried to doze off.
