PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

DALEGARTH

Stay put, until wind drops and dust settles,
to see the way ahead clearly.

Keep quiet, whilst rage subsides and peace emerges,
to hear the undertone of harmony.

Still thought, as confusion disperses and reflection steadies,
to know the unknowingness of Tao.

Rest easy, when muscles relax and joints loosen.
In the poise of idleness, action gestates.


Unmoving?
To move on!

The exercise or practice of attaining stillness, in various forms, is widely recognised and commended as a beneficial influence on health.
It is valued as an obvious balance to energetic physical or mental activity, and plays a central role in many types of yoga or meditation.

Tao portrays stillness or tranquillity as providing a path from disorder to order, or as an opportunity to recover balance from instability.
By bringing the 'busy-ness' of rational trains of thought to a standstill, and allowing emotional 'noise' to fall silent,
other forms of awareness and understanding can become apparent, and Tao can begin to 'make sense'.
