My uncle once told me a story: He was on a spiritual retreat, where the attendees were challenged to go on a ‘Spirit Walk’ to find their ‘Spirit Stone’.
As I remember it, he said he was looking and looking and couldn’t find it. It wasn’t, until he stopped looking, that he turned around and said “theres! my Rock’, spotting ‘his’ ‘Spirit Stone’.
It’s not until we sometimes give up trying to do something before we manage to achieve it. Its entering that special place between total surrender to task and a state of rest within the task, however big or small a form that rest may take.
Its as if here, in the states, the body enters a different brain frequency and can tap in to something more. And in these heightened states, born out of ‘Sincerity to Task’ as a centre, one makes room, so that like a child, a natural response of child like awe can enter the being.
It cannot be reached easily from the side of work alone.
