Still waters

“The still waters of a lake reflect the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the Self is seen reflected in it.”

– B.K.S Iyengar

The still waters that reflect the setting sun, that wraps the heart into comforting silence.

The trees that stand at the shore like a guardian to protect your heart from any harm.

Tomorrow, the water will awaken and refresh all that dives into its beauty, but for now the mind is still and the heart can speak in the soft whisper of the swaying branches of the willow tree.

The water listens to the silence of the mind and the voice of the rising heart.

“Make your heart like a lake, with a calm, still surface, and great depths of kindness.”

-Lao Tzu
