The stillness I was speaking of was of nature. For Siddhartha Gautama it was the Bodhi Tree, for Jehoshua the desert. Many masters dwell in caves, others in temples. Stillness is removal of self from distraction.
Anyone here ever played a video game? If one had an infinite number of lives, would losing a life, only to get another, appear to be such a tragedy? Would playing the game a second time, or on another level, appear to be a tragedy? Have fun, follow your passions. They are a direction, which is better than aimless wandering. As Jeff Bridges said in the 1974 movie Stay Hungry, "It doesn't much matter what you choose to do in life. It only matters that you choose something, and do it with all your heart".
