Stiller

I'd like to be quiet.  As quiet inside as I can.  But I'm still interpreting what quietness is, means.  Mystic people call it quietude.  Is that the same that as attitude? Pulcritude? Latitude? Longitude? Maybe...I could call it stillitude. I had to look up the suffix tude...and the definition was state, quality or condition. I started my stillness project again yesterday.   I still have a long way to go.  I am not sure how far I'll get because, when I started doing this a month ago, it only lasted seven days.  I still want to try at though , just to see if I emerge a calmer quieter, more patient stiller person. Shielding myself from the aggravation of the small things in life and being able to face more openly , the big things in life.


But I have many questions in my head still.  What exactly is stillness? Internal stillness?  Is it quieting you thoughts? Is it abstaining from making life changing decisions? I kind of know where stillness is supposed to take me, but I can't really tell what the vehicle that I'm supposed to be riding in looks like? I just know where I want to go.
