Welcome to the world of the quiet mind.

Though chaos reigns in every province

He that resists not the intrusion

Can be at peace.

This is not a “shutting off” or “shutting out”,

Not an inner room guarded by a maze of walled battlements,

A coveted refuge where one can hid.

This is a world that exist in plain sight

Even as horns and shouts and cries collide

In cacophonous furry all around.

Clinging to nothing, resisting nothing, threatened by nothing,

Opposing nothing, advocating nothing,

But witnessing everything as it is -

The world of the quiet mind.
