Inspiration, listen, quietude, silence, stillness

A quote from Franz Kafka on learning to be quiet and still…

You need not do anything.

Remain sitting at your table and listen.

You need not even listen, just wait.

You need not even wait,

just learn to be quiet, still and solitary,

and the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.

It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

—Franz Kafka

    Words of wisdom, Amira and the picture says it all. To sit quietly in yourself what other thing do you want.

      This is where nature can really help us… to sit in the garden, in a park, or by the water can bring us so much peace…
