Let's be still. Just for a minute.
Listen to the birds, or the traffic, or the silence.
Listen to your thoughts. Which way do they go? There will be slopes down which they tend to topple. Is that movement a helter-skelter?

Or a water chute? Or an avalanche?
It's all right, you can change the landscape if you want. You just have to work out what's going on.
Be still.
Thing To Be Today: still. This word was stille in Old English and goes right back to the Sanskrit word sthānús, which means immobile.
