Where Stillness Begins

Stillness rarely arrives all at once.

It begins quietly — with a shift in pace, a softening of the body, a moment where nothing is required.

Often, it starts with water.

Not because it’s indulgent, but because it asks so little of us.

The body responds before the mind has time to intervene.

The tub becomes an entry point.

A pause between what came before

and what no longer needs to follow.

This is where stillness begins —

not as an idea,

but as an experience.
