🌾 Chase Not, Choose Stillness 🌿

🌱 A seed aligns with nature’s pace,  

  Unfolding not by force, but grace.

🌧️ The sky does not instruct the rain,  

  Yet rivers swell and bend again.

💫 Creation thrives not in the shove,  

  But in the yielding arc of love.

🌾 We till the ground, then pause and see—  

  Not all is shaped intentionally.

🌿 Why chase the world that will not stay,  

  When seeds choose stillness every day?

🕊️ Create the space, then gently stay—  

  The tide will turn its quiet way.

🌰 What came to bloom dissolves once more,  

  Becoming seed—not less, but more.

There is a paradox of effort and surrender. 

We are told that to attain happiness, fulfillment, and peace,

we must strive relentlessly—

chasing success, happiness, answers,

even spiritual awakening.

But in that mental chase,

we may become blind

to what is already here.

When that chasing stops,

Mind restlessness softens.

Attention returns to the present.

And there,

life begins to reveal itself—

not as something to control or acquire,

but as something vibrant, flowing,

a mystical unfolding.

In stillness of the mind beyond the chase, life reveals itself as a flowing, a mystical unfolding.
