I seem obsessed
with the idea
of saving the world
by not doing anything
to save the world.
I will not change my actions.
I will not write a book.
I will not open a monkey monastery.
I have this feeling
that my actions
are ALREADY geared
towards saving the world.
I have this feeling
that the only world worth saving
is the one I imagine.
And this is how I imagine the world.
Perfection.
And if I’m wrong, so what?

Embracing Stillness in Action
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where every movement creates ripples and waves, stillness can be the most potent act. The notion that stillness and inaction are passive is a misconception. Sometimes, choosing not to act, choosing to be still, is the loudest and most powerful action one can take.
Within the whirlwind of life’s activities, the hustle and bustle, the cacophony of sounds and sights, lies a subtle truth – sometimes, the most transformative changes are born from stillness. Inaction can be a profound action, a conscious choice, a statement. By not writing a book, not opening a whimsi-sanctuary, we might be creating space, allowing for a natural evolution, an organic emergence of ideas and inspirations.
To believe that our actions, in their current form, are already geared towards the greater good, is a testament to a deep-seated trust in the universe and its designs. It’s a gentle nod to the belief that everything is unfolding as it should, in its perfect timing and rhythm.
Furthermore, the world each of us envisions, the realms we imagine, are potent realities. To perceive the world as perfect is to acknowledge its intrinsic beauty, its balance, and its harmony. Even in its chaos, even in its unpredictability, there’s a dance, a symphony of life playing out. And in this dance, every step, every pause, every twirl is crucial.
So, what if this imagined world of perfection is the real world? What if our perspective, our lens, is the magic wand that transforms reality? And if, by chance, this isn’t the case, does it truly matter? For in the act of imagining perfection, we bring a piece of it to life, we manifest a fragment of that utopia.
Summary:
We delve into the profound power of stillness and inaction to emphasize the potential for transformation that lies within them. We also explored the idea that our perception can shape and transform our reality.
Glossarium:
- Whimsi-sanctuary: A playful and imaginative haven or retreat.

Whispers of Stillness
In the realm where silence sings,
Where stillness takes on wings,
There, in the heart of the quietude,
Lies a profound magnitude.
Without a word, without a deed,
The world feels the heartbeat’s lead.
For in the pause, in the hush,
Emerges a cosmic, gentle rush.
No books penned, no tales spun,
Yet the universe’s work is done.
For in the imagined, in the dream,
Reality finds its truest theme.
