Why don't we escape all the chaos in this noisy world? For a fistful of precious moments, let's just sit side by side out in the open, completely silent. Let's gaze at the sky in the gloaming as it gradually changes hue. Let's watch the day age together, marveling at birds flying high, blades of grass waving in the wind. Join me in... this sweet surrender unperturbed; seeking respite in tranquility. Let's keep still like Buddhist monks, concentrating... on the lone goldfish on that fish tank inside our minds.
