Quiet

By: Charlie Samos

Go into the room. Get on the mat.

Be still, be quiet. Don’t be a slave to your practice or your habits.

Stumble, as you certainly will, regain your footing with grace and acceptance, be quiet.

Listen to what whispers to you, be quiet.

Only when you are silent often enough, long enough, will you receive the gifts you are so desperate for.

Let each breath remove you from your ego.

Let each breath take you away from your noise.

Breathe, be silent, be patient, and finally, be the one who fully knows what it is like to be you.
