A tree isn’t trying to impress you. A flower isn’t worried about its next step. What if your soul could root itself in that same kind of peace?
Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Reflection:
In a world racing toward the next notification, the next task, the next worry, we often forget that life isn’t lived in acceleration—it’s rooted in stillness. Eckhart Tolle invites us to simply look—at a tree, a flower, a plant—and be. These silent teachers aren’t concerned with outcomes. They don’t hustle, argue, or fear. They grow where they are planted, trusting in the process of life. When we bring our awareness to their quiet presence, we’re not escaping reality—we’re finally entering it. Let today be a day when you step outside, take a deep breath, and remember: stillness is not a pause from life, it is life.
