Sitting in Silence
I am not talking about the Meditation.
I have tired, I am still trying, however, I couldn't have made it to the point yet.
I can find myself settle and be in the moment, I believe.
The harder I try to clear my mind,
the more I see, I hear, and I feel.
With my eyes closed,
I see flowers, trees, rocks,
I hear birds, frogs, bugs, and flowing water,
and I feel the wind.
Sitting in silence
I talk to the things around me,
Then, they talk to me.
I can also talk to myself, deep in my mind.
I can feel myself in silence,
I can be honest to myself
without being disturbed by the noise.
It might be a short time period,
in my house, or in my garden,
and it does not necessarily be in Zen Mountain.
However,
it is a significant moment to be true to myself and the nature.
閑座
心を沈めて静かに座る。
瞑想は今まで何度も試みたが、どうもうまくいかない。
”無”の常態になろうとがんばってみたが、
がんばればがんばるほど雑念が沸いてくる。
努力が足りないだけなのか？
それどころが、閑座することで、
自分の内部と会話したり、
自分の周りの自然をもっと身近に感じることができる。
花や木々、
鳥や虫の声、川のせせらぎ、
風、
すべてのものが。
じっと座っているだけで、自分を知り、自然を感じ、心が旅に出てしまう。
