Discipline

Morning Falun Gong
Originally uploaded by ekai

This morning as I dropped my gym bag in the car and headed towards the train, I saw a group of Falun Gong members, meditating in the morning sunlight.

There's something amazing about stillness, about discipline, that really shines like a blazing star in a dark world.

What if I'd tried to disturb them? I don't know. But I suspect their discipline didn't just extend to getting up early in the morning. True discipline prepares itself for disturbance. A deeply significant thought as my life feels busier than it's ever been.
