Summary

In this episode, we talk about why a still and grounded mind is so compelling to other people, and the various experiences I've had with this reality. The poem mentioned is by W.B. Yeats, called Still Water:

"We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us, that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet."

1:46.0	So this one's interesting. What makes a still mind compelling?
