To Know.

"Simple, nice gentleness arising from within the moment tranquility settles into an already tranquil soul is the moment of touch in the feel of timelessness. Prayer has this quality, as well as being alone within the many, not in a pitiful state, but a state of union.

Sitting upon a rock in the vastness of a valley the mountains look far into what we don't know, couldn't know. We can bask in the mountain's knowing, and know none of what the mountain knows, has seen. It would be too much so we sit in the valleys knowing only what we know, as what we don't know tells us what they know into our stillness. This is the point of being still: to feel without knowing enough for a conversation in the open spaces of soul and  matter." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/3/17
