To be still…silent…peaceful…serene. A meditative state I escape to. Allowing my mind to rest, thoughts stop processing, visions stop seeing, quiet. Blank. I see black…an infinite amount of space that extends far beyond what we could ever image. No sounds, no feelings. No hurt. No pain. No sadness. Just be. The calm-abiding state…gaining access to the stillness of the calm mind. “When our mind abides in calmness, we gain openness, ease, connectedness, loving-kindness, and insight,” Elliot Dacher.
Through our troubles we learn perseverance. Through our pain we gain strength. Through our ignorance we seek knowledge. Through our sorrows there is love. If you sit in silence long enough, you will experience each transformation with a witnessing mind. Give yourself time to be. Just be. Just be still.
