stillness is a human term of reference.
it is representative of a human concept
meant to be understood based on experience.
but there is nothing out there in the universe
that is still in the way this is implied.
for the experience of stillness
is really authored by a limited range of perception,
either too vast or too subtle
to be within the range of human experience
yet accounted for by human language
as human experience measures.
we would call it stillness
based on our inability to measure it directly
in experience terms.
to us, it is stillness but not really
for the sake of how and what we experience.
the term stillness applies as a something
even though it is a lack of ability within experience
in that it plays on the value of sensory importance.
there are unlimited octaves of sound
outside the human range of perception
and we would call all of them
directly experienced, as stillness,
even though that is clearly not what is really happening
but without technology,
no real clue as to what and how.
we derive a meaning based upon
what it is not by our sensory means
and therefore subscribe to it as being stillness.
therefore stillness is a myopic term
accepted as valid and rendered as real.
we all want stillness in reaction to sensory overload.
maybe that is the real human meaning
of stillness,
yet can’t be said in that way,
but only inferred . . .
