I studied the bird, deeply impressed that she seemed to know instinctively that in stillness is healing. I had been learning that too, learning that stillness can be a prayer that transforms us.

Less is needed
If you feel that your dreams aren’t coming true, you might think that you need to do more, or to think and strategize more. In fact, what you might need is less – less noise coming to you from both inside and outside – so that you have the space for your heart’s truest intention to germinate and flourish.
Thich Nhat Hahn, Silence

remember,
you were a writer
before
you ever
put
pen to paper.
just because you were not writing
externally.
does not mean you were not writing
internally.

How nature heals
These beautiful autumn days touch the heart and the spirit. Simply being out in nature can heal and restore us, without the need for words or explanations or ideas.
We can learn from it as to how to be with someone who is going through a time of difficulty:
I was sad one day and went for a walk; I sat in a field.
A rabbit noticed my sadness and came near
It often does not take more than that to help at times –
to just be close to creatures who are so full of knowing
so full of love, that they don’t
chat
they just gaze with their marvellous understanding.
