On stillness
You need both work and stillness to appreciate either
If every day is dedicated to work
Every part of your purpose is defined by that work
The work begins to define you
It tells you who you are
Your hands and your mind
Your eyes and your ears
Your heart and your spirit
Defined by what
What you do
What you produce
When each second of your waking time is dedicated to contemplating work
There’s no time to contemplate on who you are
On whose you are
On how you are
You are
Simply
What
What you create
What you approve
What you sell
What you write
What you build
What you fix
What you produce
You are more than what you produce
Your work does not get to define you
Or tell you who you are
Neither does your success
Or your failure
Neither does your perfection
Or your imperfection
You are not a what
