Something To Remember

"Any time you want an answer about anything at all, close your ears to the babble in the streets, remain apart from it, and remain quietly with your own unknowing. Just quietly realize that you do not know the answer; do nothing more than this. Will you do this much? Will you try it many times over the coming months? You can practice wherever you are, whether in the kitchen or factory or field. It may seem like a mystery, but it is right action." -Vernon Howard-

These are remarkable words of wisdom. This unknowing, childlike being seems like it would be so fun. Anyone can have it, yet we run from it everyday. We run because we are afraid of the quiet. We think we must have constant movement, we must be DOING something. We have yet to understand that we can step away from this big, spinning gear and not get hurt by anyone or anything. Love, r
