Only when you are still inside do you have access to the realm of stillness that rocks, plants, and animals inhabit. … Nature can bring you to stillness. That is its gift to you. When you perceive and join with nature in the field of stillness, that field becomes permeated with your awareness. That is your gift to nature. Through you nature becomes aware of itself. Nature has been waiting for you, as it were, for millions of years.
— Eckhart Tolle in Stillness Speaks
PSALM 46:10-11
“Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth.”
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
