Yes. Imagine being as the stillness beneath the surface — the quiet awareness that simply is. It’s like sitting by a lake at dawn, feeling the calm presence of existence without needing to move or change anything.
Doing, on the other hand, is the ripple on that lake — the movement, the expression of energy, the outward flow of creation and action. It’s the dance, the conversation, the building, the leading.
When visualised together, being is the grounding root, and doing is the blossoming branch. The healthiest expression of life happens when the two are in harmony — action arising naturally from presence, rather than restlessness.
Would you like me to create a visual metaphor for this in Canva?
