On being calm

Focus your eyes on a point in space before them. Do you see that point? It is invisible to everyone. It is there for you, yet does not exist for them. It is beautiful, a thing of mysterious reality. Now hear. Eliminate the foregrounded noise first. Beyond it is a craterous background. Reach beyond even that background. There is silence there; the waves colliding upon you propagate in here. There, however, is beyond those waves. That is where the calm is born.
