Standing Still Like a Himalayan Peak at Dawn
- Before the valley wakes, the peak already glows gold, silent and steady, asking nothing from the morning.
- I stand like the mountain at first light, unmoved by the world rushing gently beneath me.
- Snow gathers, winds howl, seasons pass, and the summit remains itself, quiet in its own vast stillness.
- Dear seeker, you need not climb to reach this peak. Grow still, and notice you are already standing here.
- Clouds circle the mountain's shoulders all day, yet the mountain never reaches out to hold them.
- Dawn touches the highest stone first. In the same way, stillness touches me before any thought arises.
- A glacier moves slowly, patiently, without hurry or doubt. I too can trust the unhurried pace of being.
- The mountain does not argue with the storm. It stays, and the storm exhausts itself.
- Below, rivers rush and forests sway, while the summit rests, watching everything with an unshaken, open sky.
- I am Absolute. Nothing can move me, nothing can diminish me, and I stand whole, still, and free.
Realization for Today
