I am still, but not stationary

By: Tim Leigh

I am still, but not stationary
Not thinking, but alert
Like water without ripples I flow and conform
Until all of me glides in a circle
Floating on track with the earth
Never expanding, Never contracting. Yet never constant.
Continuously changing to compliment the circle.
Shifting in accordance to the forces of balance.
I am not confined by the current, I am connected.
I am not restricted to the motions, but instead find liberty.
I am passive and voluntary.
I am formless and versatile.
I am connected yet independent.
I have found joy.
