Stop

Stopping is impossible. This is because it does not depend on you! Events go on no matter our attempts to stop them. We are here and life is happening to us and around us and the extent to which we can influence it is minimal. Minimal does not mean insignificant especially when we account for the contagious nature of human activity: monkey see, monkey do.
We can stop activity and then even though nothing else has stopped time slows down and centers around a present moment. The cessation of activity does not mean cessation of perception. We are still here and we are still vibrantly feeling the waves of existence. However, these perceptual experiences ground us when we do not attempt to interpret them and work with the meaning we ascribe them. Stopping action is a state of rest the equilibrium where our disbalances do not overthrow our center of gravity and send us spinning down.
But how to stop?
