I Said to My Soul, be Still

“I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”
–T.S. Eliot, from “East Coker”

How do you still your soul when you are impatient for change?

  1. I retreat into my music and my art or I perform vigorous excercise. Those things take my mind to a restful place where I am not so preoccupied with worries about the future.
