I'm laying in bed, the light is turned off and I'm staring up at the ceiling, taking in the darkness and listening to the silence.
My day starts this way and ends this way.
I didn't always appreciate the need for silence, the need to hold space with it, and allow it to take me into the mysteries of stillness while also allowing my thoughts to drift until all that is left is emptiness, but I'm appreciating this practice more and more because it allows me to begin and end my at peace, letting go of any attachments, emotions and events that might otherwise disturb the harmony of the moment.
