I watched this dragon fly resting on a slender leaf, from which a drop of water was hanging! During the fifteen minutes I observed this curious sight, the water drop was still hanging from the tip of the leaf.
For a drop of water to fall, very little movement was enough. But the dragon fly was still!
It is the habit of dragon flies to stay still on the surfaces they rest for a long time. Its habit of stillness is its second nature.
The bodily behaviour of stillness is the way to move into the stillness of mind, which is often referred to as meditation.
The habit of stillness is a virtue, which enables one to live with a sense of presence and attentiveness. The interior silence springs form the habit of stillness of body and mind.
