Some people think that it always takes time

for the mind to arrive in the space of silence.

How about simply dropping this idea,

simply feeling how you are sitting right now,

in contact with the ground and thus with the earth

in this earth contact that knows neither here nor there.

Simply letting yourself feel how you are sitting right now

in contact with the space above your head and thus with the sky

in this sky contact which knows neither yesterday not today.
