finding the still point

the still point is the place where the flame burns brightly, but it's not blown out by the wind.

it's all about steadiness. and sureness. showing up for the game, win or lose. success or fail.
it is full blown engagement, at any cost.
transcending ourselves. our fears. our desires.

it's a knowing that it just has to be done. easy, and yet, not so much.
the only obstacle is often ourselves.

one has to go beyond the pair of opposites to find the real source.
gone, gone, gone
beyond the other shore

still paddling............
