In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 1 for stillness.
And when we are 2 to be still because we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 3 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn't something we're 4 .
This comes at a 5 : we lose that time for 6 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

Is this how you want to spend your 12 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 13 . Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done already.___14____be in the moment.
Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you'd 15 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration; more 16 . Then be that vision.

Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 19 for it. 20 the stillness. It's a treasure，and it's available to us, always.
