🏄 Be stable like a surfer

The Book of TREE 1.41

Stability is an interior quality.

The sun rising every day,
seasons,
the sea,
mountains,
TREES (of course!),
religion,
rituals
relationships –
all these things can be reference points to help you build inner stability. They can point you back to your inner stillness. But they cannot be your stability.

If you base your sense of stability on external circumstances, it will always be in jeopardy. In times like these, it may be nonexistent.

Inner stability is fluid, responsive, light. At the same time it is deep and still.

The only way I’ve know to get it is practice.

The waves will keep coming. The invitation to learn to surf is always open.
