The speaker gently urges friends to slow down. The first stanza describes a kind of frantic motion: running, roaring, ricocheting. The phrase "from hard place to rock" twists the familiar saying "between a rock and a hard place," so the panic feels both recognizable and a little worn out. Judging by the wording, the speaker sees this restless rushing as a reaction to pressure, and not as a real way out of it.
The second stanza offers the opposite. Be silent, sit still, "hibernate your mind," stand in the snow, listen to the stars. The commands are short and calm, and they move outward from the body to the huge, quiet sky. Listening to stars is impossible in a literal sense, which is the point: stillness lets you notice things you normally can't. The mood is tender and patient, like a friend speaking softly. It feels cold and clear, but not bleak, because the quiet is presented as a gift.
