James Low

We are moving beings. We are always busy. We are always preoccupied.

And the key thing is to see our real nature, the openness, the stillness has not gone anywhere else.

 We are moving in stillness. It is the very fact of the openness of our being that allows us to move. But by being intoxicated by the movement we don't attend to the stillness and then we think I will rest when I have finished this. Oh god I will be retired in a few years, then I will be able to, then I will be able to, at least when I am dead I will be sitting in a box.

It is always displaced somewhere else. When the movement stops I will be at rest.

But it never stops. Not by day or night. Always there is something going on. Always busy. Hopes and fears. Happiness and sadness. Disappointments, confusions, intoxications, always something.

The answer doesn't lie in improving the quality of the stuff. The real point of liberation is to integrate movement and stillness. To recognise that from the very beginning you have been a ballerina dancing in this exquisite open space. Endlessly making these marvellous gestures. Moving in space. And that space is your own nature.
