Ruhe is a state of mind that allows us to connect with our inner selves, to discover our true purpose, and to find harmony with the world around us. It is the stillness that allows us to observe the beauty of nature, to appreciate the simple things in life, and to find meaning in our existence.
Ruhe is not just the absence of noise or activity, but a state of being that comes from within. It is the calmness that we cultivate through mindfulness, meditation, and self-reflection. It is the ability to let go of our worries and anxieties and to find peace in the present moment.
In a world that is often fast-paced and chaotic, the concept of Ruhe reminds us to slow down, to take a deep breath, and to find stillness amidst the noise. It is a reminder that true happiness comes not from external factors, but from the peace that we cultivate within ourselves.
So let us strive to find Ruhe in our lives, to embrace the stillness that lies within us, and to discover the beauty and meaning that exists in every moment.
Use a green color pencil.
There's a garden in your pocket.
There's a garden between your fingers.
There's a garden behind your ear.
There's a garden at your feet.
How many rivers fit in a blue color pencil?
By PARIS Nicolás “Portable Garden”
when we last spoke, you told us to
"walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears."
always listening,
always listening,
always listening.
we walked
so silently
the bottoms of our feet
became ears.
we listened
so silently
that the ears
became bodies.
we moved
so silently
that the bodies
became dreams.
we dreamed
so silently
that the dreams
became hearts.
love and listening,
hearing and attending
love and listening,
hearts become feet for
walking.
always listening,
inhale,
always listening,
exhale
thank you,
hip mountain.
thank you,
Pauline Oliveros.
always listening,
always listening,
always listening.
