"To the Taoist, the virtue suggested by the Mountain was called Keeping Still. The Master said: 'Composure straightens out one’s inner life; righteousness will square one’s external life.' In this way, the Mountain offers us a lesson about sameness as we connect with te and move deeper into the changing landscape. Our need to project past experience upon each event can cause a type of resistance, or turbulence in the great river of life. .Be open, that is all. '" "Be still. Follow your inner wisdom. In order to know your inner wisdom, you have to be still. The leader who knows how to be still and feel deeply will probably be effective. But the teacher who chatters and boasts and tries to impress the group has no center and carries little weight"
~ The Tao of Leadership by John Heider
Therefore, the Lord God,
the holy one of Israel, says:
In return and rest you will be saved;
quietness and trust will be your strength
~ Isaiah 30:15 CEV
