I sit down and stare blankly into space, unknowingly immersing myself in stillness. Mouth shut, not a word escapes. Wondrous thoughts and dreamy images run through my mind. The whirrs of the truck and the shatter of breaking glass do not distract me. In the silence that my ears encapsulate, they cease to exist. I listen intently to an internal sound - of my heart pounding in my chest. I listen harder. And I start to feel the lub and dub of my beating heart. I begin to feel the lilt of my measured breath getting longer, and deeper, and I can feel my upper torso swaying to this rhythm.
I feel Alive.
