When one connects conscious awareness to the parts
and to the whole of the body, stillness is.
From the deep then arises the true next step,
for he who waits and listens.
Where there is no need,
thence can the true flower bloom.
***************************************************
The eager taskmaster sees any undone task
as an unwanted evil, and reacts to it
by seeking a rapid resolution.
With automatic and ruthless demeanor,
he whips us with urge and anxiety
until all tasks are complete.
And if he achieves an empty tasklist,
his relief is short, for his worth depends on his utility,
and quickly the task then becomes
to find other tasks to pursue.
It is our role to steady his urgent impulse,
and to show him the way of patience
again
and again
and again.a
