Quiet is calming painting. It is a piece that reminds us to take time away from the chaos of life to be still, to unplug and sit still. When we meditate, we quiet the mind.
Everything in you that you don't need, you can let go of. You don't need loneliness for you couldn't possibly be alone. You don't need greed because you already have it all. You don't need doubt because you already know. The confusion is saying "I don't know" but the minute you are quiet. You find out that in truth you do know. For in you, you know. Plane after plane will open to you. I want to know who I really am
