SYMMETRY IN STILLNESS
words for the overwhelmed soul
There is a trap in life
and it looks like motion.
Like always saying yes.
Like being everywhere, for everyone,
except yourself.
It snaps shut
not with teeth,
but with to-do lists,
notifications,
and noise dressed as meaning.
But there is another way.
A stillness.
Not empty, but aware.
Not silent, but intentional.
Like a Venus flytrap in the sun,
you wait.
You sense.
You decide.
You let the world come to you
and only hold what truly feeds you.
Stillness is not surrender.
It is choosing when to close
and when to stay wide open.
