Today,
I sit with my back straight,
I close my eyes,
And I listen to the sounds of silence.
I choose to keep my words and to hear what I can hear.
Dogs barking,
Birds singing,
A car passes by.
A thought comes to my mind.
Shouldn't I be doing something else?
Again,
I focus on what I can hear without speaking a word.
Another thought comes to me.
This is it.
There is nothing else to listen.
I can do something productive now.
At this time,
I take a deep breath,
And I choose to focus on the silence again.
More birds,
More dogs,
No more cars.
Now I can hear the birds and the fridge.
Suddenly I am invaded by an immensity of thoughts of all kinds.
Two minutes after,
My eyes are still closed.
My back is not so straight anymore.
The birds are still singing.
My entire life had been reviewed.
My worries got expended,
And I found at least one more problem to solve and five more things that I must do.
I keep my eyes closed.
I straighten my back.
I take a deep breath,
And I listen to the silence.
There is no sound.
Everything stopped.
My dog takes a deep breath,
And I almost laugh.
Is he meditating as well?
I confirm that my back is straight,
And I focus again on silence.
There is a fly flying around me.
Will I ever be able to meditate?
My eyes are closed.
My back is straight.
I turn my eyes to the third eye.
I see light.
First white,
Then blue.
I pay attention to the colors.
It feels good and peaceful.
There is no sound,
Only light.
A brilliant idea comes,
And my heart smiles at me.
Thank you,
Universe.
I take a deep breath,
And I open my eyes.
Tomorrow at the same place,
At the same time,
For more of those sounds of silence.
