When the mind is clear

The sea is tranquil -

Not a ripple to be seen.

In this timeless spot

Truth! there is for me to glean, 

For life is still; minds are free.

simple and direct -- with a little twist in the fourth line -- there is much to be learned when your mind is still -- wise words for a young one.

Thank you. And I agree that there is much to learn when your mind is still - but that is something that is extremely hard (to completely calm the mind).

[Lyn Anderson]

For most of us it is indeed tricky. Mind based meditation is a worthy pursuit in trying to achieve this goal.

[R.M.C]

Yes, but I think in this day and age its harder than ever, what with the bustle and frenzy in most of our lives. If we can achieve it though, I believe it would surely reduce stress and help us get through life with greater ease and comfort.

When the ocean is calm, it is so lovely to watch the sun dance on the clear water. Time stands still and the world becomes so clear. A serene write...lovely. Lydi**

Thank you Lydi. I'm glad I managed to convey my thoughts to you; I'm not used to trying to be so concise with my words but I think I've done quite well.

Absolutely!
