Stillness Speaks…
Be still
stillness reveals
the secret of
eternity…
` ~ ` Lao Tzu
That the mind
is in
abysmal stillness…
` ~ ` Lao Tzu
Nothing in all
creation is
so like god
as
Stillness.
` ~ ` Meister Eckhart
Learning how to
be still,
to really be still
and let life happen–
that stillness becomes a
radiance…
` ~ ` Morgan Freeman
Even when in the midst
of disturbance,
stillness of the mind can
offer
sanctuary..
` ~ ` Stephen Richards
In the stillness of headstones ,
Darkness in my blanket.
And forever in my song..
In the arms if stare angles,
I ‘m not afraid.
Because finally and
completely,
I belong
` ~ ` Jordan Dane

My goodness, Sriram; what you capture with a lens is more magical than words. Yet, the words you’ve chosen are indeed worthy of your images.

Never realized stones sitting on a hill top could look so picturesque and convey so much… Beautiful
( some pictures reminded me of “Krishna’s butter ball” at Mahabalipuram 🙂 )

Amazing photos you have captured the beauty and the Balance of Nature’s Stillness within theses photo’s Sriram. And love how that huge stone is balancing on the smaller one. Your set of Quotes are Brilliant in their refection of the images… Many thanks for putting this post together with such thought… ( as all your posts are )….
I love rock formations and have painted some in the past near to where I live, Some hang on my walls still to today.. I am afraid my image is a very blurred one of my painting… But this is an actual rock, in England.. on the Moors in Yorkshire.. I walked up to paint it.. You can take a look in my Gallery section.. Here.
