Stillness…

When water is still, it offers a perfect reflection of the light and images that shine above it . So too when our minds are still,  they more clearly reflect the light, love and image of God.

And so I ask, what does it mean to have a still mind?
To me it means that all of my thoughts that are centered around what I “perceive” to be my happiness or unhappiness are stilled, and I naturally merge into feeling oneness with the world around me.

For me, I often get there through spending time in and with the beauty of Creation. And for you, what does stillness mean for you, and how do you get there?
