Silence

A man went to see a cloistered monk.
He asked: "What have  you learned from your life of silence?".
The monk was drawing water from a well and said to his visitor:
"Look down the well! What do you see?".
The man looked into the well. "I do not see anything. "
After a bit 'of time, where he remained perfectly still, the monk said to the visitor, "Look now! What do you see in the well?".
The man obeyed, and said, "Now I see myself, my mirror in the water. "
The monk said, "See, when I dip the bucket, the water is agitated.
Now the water is calm.
And this is the experience of silence,  man sees himself. "

Today, choose a quiet corner and let yourself be lulled by the silence
