I really think that <i>looking</i> for it --- in this case the stillness of the tree --- is crucial. For example, many years ago when my wife and I were thinking about buying a Land Rover Discovery, we commented to each other that we saw so few of them on the road. So we started "calling" them whenever we'd be out driving. It totally shocked us both how often one of us would be yelling, "Disco!" We never saw them before because we were never looking for them. The same with the stillness --- I never saw it because I never stopped to look (really, never even <i>thought</i> to stop and look) until I heard Tolle talk about it. Then it was obvious! Thank you.
