We crave quiet.
And yet, when it comes, we panic.
The mind goes still—
no tasks, no messages, no noise.
Just a soft, open void.
We’re not used to emptiness.
It feels like standing at the edge of a cliff.
Our instincts pull us back toward distraction,
toward the comfort of noise and motion.
But real peace lives right there—
in the delicate balance on that edge,
where you neither cling to noise
nor escape into nothingness.
Stand there.
Let the quiet hold you.
