On Stillness

“Among friends, acquaintances, you understand that around a table there are connections between people and not necessarily the fundamental need for food; it is one of the few times that we reverently respect immobility and where the body is not hyperactive, lost on a map without coordinates: observe around you, even yourself especially on the weekends might have difficulties in staying still and rest: you might be even shocked by a big surprise of the amount and kind of stress that your attempt to rest can cause you. Sometimes we seek tension and pain to verify that we have a body… This is the curse of those who cannot enjoy calmness…”
