"Give yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater: a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought." ~ Eckhart Tolle
The struggle to be still and listen continues. I recall words from Eckhart Tolle - the power in just being - not an original thought; rather an ancient one; taught by many masters. I take heart and let go the struggle. I stop squinting my eyes and forcing my thoughts to stop. I open my eyes. There is my cup of tea, its fragrance rising over the brim; my sweet dog sleeping in the sun; a candle flickering in a blue holder. My breaths are slow and steady. The clock ticks. I remain still and quiet. I feel dense. There are no thoughts. There is only being. Even now words cannot capture this moment - ordinary yet sacred.
