In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no ___16___ for stillness.
 And when we are ___17 ___to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often ___18 ___something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re ___19 ___.
 This comes at a ___ 20___: we lose that time for ___ 21___, for observing and listening. We lose peace.
 And ___22___ yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run  around crazily, but get ___ 23___done.
 Take a moment to think about ___24___ you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering ___25 ___, checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always ___26___through your schedule?
 Is this how you want to spend your ___27___? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be ___28___. Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. ___29___be in the moment.
 Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d ___30___ it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more ___31___.
 Then be that vision.
 It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. ___32___you’ve gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too___33___. Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of ___34___ for it.
 ___35 ___ the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.
