Vibrations in stillness magnify the minutia. I move towards stillness. Here, projected on my eyelid, a ball of fire dances in a belly of shadows - Calm outer shell mixed with boiling inner peace. Suddenly, joy erupts. I am held by it until the bell rings; the vibrations change - always changing - and my eyes open. The dancing flame dies out. It stays out. I have not discovered the secret of stillness today.

Vibrations
Vibrations in stillness magnify the minutia. I move towards stillness. Here, projected on my eyelid, a ball of fire dances in a belly of shadows - Calm outer shell mixed with boiling inner peace. Suddenly, joy erupts. I am held by it until the bell rings; the vibrations change - always changing - and my eyes open. The dancing flame dies out. It stays out. I have not discovered the secret of stillness today.
