Silence

Silence, a drop of water, plop…. and waves are moving out and out to the other shore.

Then again silence – an empty space – nothing, just falling into myself.

Hearing the noises around – people talking, the music of the world of life.
A car brumming… and going far into the distance.
There is space, so wide, so endless – hearing my own blood and heartbeat.

A Breath – in and out – I feel the warmth of my body and I am falling into my belly.
Nothing to do, just to be alive.

Being taken care of, being mothered in this existence.
The space between, the empty sky, the clouds are coming and going.

Rest, peace – being at home.

Gratefulness – a thank you – and a tear is rolling down my cheek.
