The value of quietness is priceless because it allows you to be aware of what’s truly going on in life. Here’s a story to show what can happen. It’s a story about a pumpkin patch where everyday the pumpkins fight with each other. The gardener who takes care of them would keep the peace as best as he could, but to no avail the moment he left the bickering would commence. One day the fighting was really out of control and the gardener suggested meditation to the pumpkins. Although the pumpkins were reluctant, they did it. The fighting finally subsided as the pumpkins settled down and became still.
As this quietness took hold, one of the pumpkins noticed there was something on top of his head. As this was investigated it was noticed that it went to the pumpkin that it was just fighting with. As these two discussed this and investigated this further, it was discovered that all the pumpkins in this patch were connected. It was also understood that this meant they were all from the same source energy. The awareness of this which arose from the quietness of meditating, showed them their bond. No longer did the pumpkins fight, matter of fact they become one of the best producing pumpkin patches of their time. Just substitute the pumpkins with people and it really isn’t that far fetched. Our connection to life isn’t seen because of all the noise going on and unfortunately it will continue until people notice as the pumpkins did that we’re all connected and created from the same source energy…
