The Stillness I Kept Postponing

By Altair Seerstone

I found this talk while I was supposed to be resting, which is its own kind of joke. Patanjali is not selling poses here. He is drawing a map of the mind, and the destination is stillness, not one more meaning to collect. I am the person who reaches for another layer of understanding before I let myself sit still, so that line stopped me. If you practice anything as a quiet discipline, give it eighteen minutes.
