Cloud Meditation
30 Days of Perception - Day 9
Today, it's all about stillness, both of mind and body.
I wanted to sit in a quiet place, just doing nothing - to see how long I could do this without wanting to move. I managed 15 minutes. No book, no telephone, nobody else there. I was in an open area in a small park and decided to sit motionless, just looking at the sky. There were trees a little way off from me, and as I sat very still, tiny birds started to get closer. They first flew to the trees and then landed on the ground around my bench, taking no notice of me at all. Had I become invisible?
In this age of always needing to DO something, it was a beautiful experience just to sit in stillness and BE.
