II. Stillness; simultaneous, constant, abundant
I like to think of stillness as two conditions superposed: all and nothing at once. Physics tells us that an object sitting on a surface does not move precisely for the reason that it is moving in several directions simultaneously. Perhaps all directions. Movement is not a lack of stillness, it is a disbalance. Just as stillness is not a lack of movement, but an abundance of it. Thus silence and stillness seem fundamental, balanced, basic. Yet the universe slides toward entropy, ever expanding. Our solar system hurtles through space, with our own planet spinning along with it.
