Is stillness attained only reactive to chaos?
Like yin and yang?
I prefer it
Mostly when it storms
When thunder and electricity surrounds
A tornado
What we hold onto, uprooted and destroyed
Crashing into itself, pure destructive chaos
The eye of the storm, is still
When the light from above shines upon you
Protecting you
Guiding you
Removing the fear
Safely in stillness
—
Those who embody stillness before a fight become the victor
They are present and prepared
Stillness in breath
In vision
In restraint
Channelling their adrenaline
Steady gaze locked on their opponent
From afar they see the challenge ahead
Attempting to taunt, belittle and intimidate
Pure destructive power ready to strike
But they learn from every move
Anticipating every blow
Clocking every pattern
Removing the fear

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
