“Dog Sitting, Contemplating the Quiet” by Janice Taylor, Sef-Help\/Weight Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you are feeling the hustle and bustle of the holiday season (or the hustle n’ bustle of life-in-general), then please do take a moment to find a comfortable place to sit, read through these nine thoughtful quotes that shed light on the importance of #sitting; being one with life\u2019s quiet moments.<\/p>\n

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park? ~ Ralph Marston<\/em><\/p>\n

The quieter you become, the more you can hear. ~ Ram Das<\/p>\n

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. ~ Franz Kafk<\/em>a<\/p>\n

It’s quiet now. So quiet that can almost hear other people’s dreams. ~ Gayle Forman<\/p>\n

Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. ~ Warren Buffett<\/em><\/p>\n

Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content, The quiet mind is richer than a crown\u2026 ~ Robert Greene<\/p>\n

In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone. ~ Rollo Ma<\/em>y<\/p>\n

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself. ~ Zen proverb<\/p>\n

We’re sitting on our blessed Mother Earth from which we get our strength and determination, love and humility – all the beautiful attributes that we’ve been given. So turn to one another; love one another; respect one another; respect Mother Earth; respect the waters – because that’s life itself! ~ Phil Lane, Sr.<\/em><\/p>\n
