Stillness

There are times when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act.

~ Margaret Bottome

I'm not sure we know how to be still.  By "still" I mean not moving.  Not drumming our fingers on our desks.  Not shaking our water bottles with one ice cube left. 

By "we" I mean the guy sitting next to me in the library right now.
