...when watching the clouds, on a sunny day, that they seem to float by against the stillness of the silent earth and sky?
And yet, from the clouds perspective, they are the still, silent ones and the world is floating by them.

...that anyone can easily hear the silence and see the stillness.
But nothing stops the mind, like hearing the stillness and seeing the silence.

...that the hardest and also the simplest thing to 'know'.

Not easy to not know, to somewhat remain with not knowing. Its somewhat like a catastrophe, A process I feel....

'When you look at a tree and perceive it's stillness, you become still yourself. You connect with it at a very deep level. You feel a oneness with whatever you perceive in and through stillness. Feeling the oneness of yourself with all things is true love.'

The clouds are always happy to do what clouds do.
