Beautiful soul, when was the last time you were truly, completely, utterly silent? Not just quiet. Not just "not talking." But silent - internally, externally, and in every layer of your being.
No internal monologue narrating your experience. No mental rehearsal of tomorrow's conversations. No background hum of anxiety or planning or self-assessment. No music. No podcast. No screens.
No notifications. Just you - and the vast, spacious, luminous nothing that reveals itself when the noise finally stops. If you can't remember the last time, you're in good company.
Most modern humans have never experienced genuine silence. Not because the world is too loud - though it is. But because the mind is too loud.
