The Descent Into Stillness

A Journey Through the Depths of the Heart

- JASON NUTTING

We begin on the surface—

thought, motion, the echo of

seeking.

Restless to find

what we've never truly lost.

We search for peace

through effort,

through striving,

through form.

But the invitation is quieter than

all of it—

not beyond,

not above,

but beneath.

So we sit.

We allow.

We begin

the descent

into the layered stillness of the

heart.

Emotion softens.

Memory loosens.

Thoughts pass

like shadows over still water.

We move—

not forward,

but inward.

Not driven,

but drawn.

We arrive at the soul...

a quiet flame,
