“The heavy is the root of the light.
The unmoved is the source of all movement.
Thus the Master travels all day
Without leaving home.
However splendid the views,
She stays serenely in herself.
Why should the lord of the country
Flit about like a fool?
If you let yourself be blown to and fro,
You lose touch with your root.
If you let restlessness move you,
You lose touch with who you are.”

Lao-Tzu, Tao-te-Ching

“Direct your eye right inward, and you’ll find
A thousand regions in your mind
Yet undiscovered. Travel them and be
Expert in home-cosmography.”

Thoreau, Walden

Sometimes you just have to sit, be quiet, and let things be the way they are. Try it sometime.

Cheers!

ps. It takes practice.
