Not all is as it seems.

Stability doesn't derive from the practice of unyielding rigid tradition but its paradox embodied in flexibility, the fluidity of learning, growth in deeper understanding. Maturity of humankind, mastering of emotion. not the quashing of that which connects all.

Empathy unites life, separation of body and mind, emotion and thought is a stiff upper lipped scourge plaguing the planet creating death in its wake. Avoidance of feeling takes its toll on us all. Fear only the life we lose in loss of connection, our emotions serve us well when the source is felt and understood as a developed parent to child. Only then can we truly master the state of being stable. There's only one way forward, through. All else is stuckness and confusion.
