Between the Star Trees

A small figure sits beyond a still forest pool, with a loose group of blue-white stars above the trees.

The figure sits beyond a still pool in the forest. The water stays flat because nothing moves it. The mind settles in a similar way when the body stops moving, and that is stillness of mind.

Nymor and its forest are made up. The stars overhead are a loose open cluster, a young group of stars born together, like the Pleiades.

Practice

Look at still water for two minutes without looking away.
