whenever there is some silence around you - listen to it
that means just notice it. pay attention to it.
listening to silence awakens the dimension of stillness within yourself,
because it is only through stillness that you can be aware of silence
see that in the moment of noticing the silence round you,
you are not thinking.
you are aware, but not thinking
when you become aware of silence,
immediately there is that state of inner still alertness.
you are present.
you have stepped out of thousands of years of collective human conditioning.
