The Stillness

A calm mind gives clarity to thoughts

It’s Saturday afternoon.
There is scorching heat outside. I peeped outside my room and felt a strange stillness.

The tree leaves are not moving. The birds are not chirping. There is no noise of kids playing outside. I could not hear the usual conversation of my neighbors. All are hiding in their nest to save themselves from the heat.

Its midnight.
There is silence in my room and outside. There is stillness in thoughts, mind chatter, and mental activity. There is a calmness that prevails everywhere. Everything that matters becomes clear in my head. What you cannot see in broad daylight, you see crystal clear in the darkness and stillness of the night.

This is the magic of stillness.
