A moment of Peace
Sitting here, no longer waiting for the holiday parties, no longer watching the door for friends and strangers with whom to share food, drink, and fire, no longer worrying about what to do and when, I am filled with a sense of well being and connectedness that seems heavy and light at the same time, rather, I am slowed by the moment of peace and rest (which feels like heavy in my bones) and light-headed for lack of thought.
Something to think about
Though we may not be aware of it, arrogance is a wall we throw up to insulate and isolate ourselves from others and others from us. Even the idea that I am an expert and I have something to teach you can close me off from the experience of learning from you.
Knock down that wall and be at peace.
Just Silence
I can’t even focus on wandering anymore.
The older you get, the more you know.
The more you know, the less you know.
The less you know, the younger you get.
I can’t even focus on wandering anymore.
I can’t even focus anymore…
Deep breath…
Okay…
Clear mind…
Clear mind, clear wind.
Oceans of peace, calm, silence…
Silence. Awareness of silence…
Silence. Awareness of silence…
Slipping awareness of silence…
No awareness of silence.
Just awareness..
Just silence.
