Thich Nhat Hanh 11.11. 1926 - 22.01. 2022.
- In loving memory and with deep gratitude for teaching us how to create a revolution of stillness:

SLOW MOTION MONK
I'm standing in the square in the French noon heat. The sun rests high above the monastery and the surrounding vineyards. There are people gathered from all over the world. Some sit on the grass, others wait in the meditation hall, and few go to and from the bookstore.

I'm stopped - something I'm practicing doing in this place. And then I see him walking, almost in slow motion. He is old, but moves imperceptibly gently across the grass in his brown robe and with the bamboo hat resting on his back. The head is completely bare, the face open, almost like a child.

I'm touched to see him walk, taste the salt water on my tongue and wipe my cheeks in the scarf. He walks in peace. His presence and calmness affect everyone in the square. People stop. I notice how compassion, joy, and a deep sense of cohesion have arisen simply by seeing this serene monk. Thich Nhat Hanh moves towards the meditation hall, places his clip clappers at the opening and disappears into the dark room.

In those moments on the way across the grass, he showed me that it is possible. That there is a way out of my suffering, of the suffering of every human being, and that the way is before me, on the grass under my feet. I wipe the tears off my cheeks and walk slowly towards the hall. In trust.

In the minutes on the square, under the scorching sun, I had unconditional confidence that love and peace are possible for all of us. And that experience came to form a strong starting point for my future work. I have subsequently thought about how a gentle monk's slow walk across a lawn can evoke such a strong sense of cohesion in a whole group of people.

The answer is simple, Thich Nhat Hanh was a powerful example of a man, who has walked all the way and who lived peace, love and compassion so strongly that he was a living Buddha. And a living Buddha changes the world and those he meets along the way.

It is as if we have landed in a collective Stillness Revolution - a revolution that has the potential to change our way of life here on earth and restore the balance between man and nature and within each of us.
But we must be in the stillness, contemplate deeply, feeling the collective pain of which we are all part, and not drawing hasty conclusions.
We need to listen deeper, stay in silence and see if we can tame our fears, despair and desperation. We are faced with having to create a new vision for our lives on earth and it should not be born out of fear.
It is going to require a wholehearted and extraordinary effort and that is why we must rest and gather our strength. We must remain in silence and ask ourselves the question: How do I put my unique purpose and gifts into play for the benefit of the whole?
It is adequate for now - later it will be time to act, but right now we need to listen and witness the pain of the earth and stay anchored in love ❤️
This video (made by Darinka Montico) - a metaphorical letter from Covid-19 - is a testimony to the state of things. Hopefully it can make us stop and realize that we must create a new way of being in the world - together.
With love,
Didde

Lyt med i den nye episode af podcasten "Lyden af et bedre liv", hvor vi i samtale med Mannah Guldager kommer ind på mange spændende emner:

"Tilbagetrækningen og fremdriften oplever jeg som en bølgebevægelse, som vi har i åndedrættet og som er nødvendigt for vores arbejdsflow. I dette samfund oplever vi primært andres anerkendelse, når vi er i fremdrift. Tlbagetrækningen er dog utrolig vigtig, for at vi kan komme tilbage til verden med fornyede kræfter og skabe de resultater, der er brug for.", siger Didde Flor Rotne, der sammen med sin mand, Nikolaj Flor Rotne, taler med mig om at finde vej i livet, om fremtidens kompetencer, intuition, følelsernes hemmeligheder, kærligheden og den tid vi lever i.

Parret er internationalt anerkendte forfattere. Sammen har de 3 drenge og konsulentvirksomheden Stilhedsrevolutionen, hvor de skræddersyer udviklingsforløb for ledere og lederteams.

I denne episode får du både parrets inspirerende historie, deres budskaber OG endda høre uropførelsen af to af Nikolajs nye digte fra en sprit ny digtsamling.
En fantastisk episode du må høre, hvis du egentlig godt kunne bruge en stilhedsrevolution i dit eget liv...

Yesterday I did a presentation about the wave 🌊 for a Leadership Team. The wave exists both through propulsion and retraction. Without the waves retreat to its source, it is not able to move forward with new strength and courage.

So the beautiful question is: How can we work with both withdrawal and progress within a day, a week, a month and a life stage?

My experience is that when we honor both forces in us and make them work together, we experience wholeness and authenticity that make it possible to do what we have come here to do.

We all know a sense of lack. Like there is a hole inside. Like something is missing to be complete.

In times like this we feel a little unease and we have the feeling that there is not enough… Not enough time, that we are not productive enough, that we are not good enough, that our relationships are not fulfilling enough. This “not enough” feeling!

How can we transform this feeling of “not enough”?

We can so easily forget to listen to our inner voice. We are seduced by things that will never ever lead us on the trail of deep joy.

We listen to voices that are not our own and that often begins to dictate our choices of life.

But what happens when we stop and listen to our inner voice? Find out in this video…

Sometimes we think we have to do everything ourselves to manifest the life we want. But in fact to have our hands full can be the problem we have to overcome.

There can be a great danger of always filling our time with activity because we are slipping into the periphery of life and hanging in an endless series of actions.

We easily forget the connection to our inner center and feel invaded by the outside world and our own and others’ expectations to us.

What is the counterweight of this great activity and time pressure that we impose upon ourselves?
