Pilgrimage to Stillness

SunriseMtnWhile Sasha and I were hiking at Sunrise on Mt. Rainier, she talked about the deep stillness we could find there.  This conversation reminded me of the importance of stillness.  Eckhart Tolle thinks of it as a primary doorway into Presence.   So do I.

Silence can lead to stillness, but they’re different.  You can always find stillness underneath the sounds.  You have to listen deeply.  Or perhaps feel into it.

So, on this most recent pilgrimage to Eastern Washington, I went looking for stillness.  The video shows you what I found.  The Columbia river runs deep and powerfully.  It flows deep stillness.  You can feel when you watch the video.  The canyon and the wheat fields flow into the Columbia.  They too are still.

Tip: Watch the video twice.  Once with the volume on and once in silence.

Did you notice a Bald Eagle perched on the bridge over the Columbia.  At the other end of the bridge perched an Osprey.  In the middle, one of them had a nest – my guess – the eagle.

The bear half way through is for Sasha, ‘cause she likes bears.  The haze comes from the nearby wildfires.  Climate impacts continue.  

Walk in beauty,
