In my travels I get the chance to meet many people—some of whom I engage with in some deep conversations.  One such encounter back in July with a guy I met in Boston had turned into a few emails back and forth about life and such. 

I heard a great line delivered by an older character.  He said to Miles’ character, Sutter, “I thought she’d be the one to yank you out of neutral”.

... we talked about the challenges…the deaths, the loss of jobs, the broken relationships, and the depression so many of our family and friends experience.  Sometimes this depression is fierce, other times it’s just a lingering hurt, a pain… I call it a funk.

This ability to develop vision is what actually got me out of the crappy place I was in back in 1992 after an accident took the life of a friend of mine, and caused me to die for a few worldly minutes.

I offer to you with great conviction that stillness is what we all crave and need; and it’s the most elusive of all we need to move to greater levels of happiness and fulfillment.  be still is the second of the 5 jckrbbt principles that I’ll write about in this new year.
