The Breakfast Of Solitude

After a long time, there was a breakfast when I did nothing. No thoughts. Just the tea and the maggi, and the bread and the cornflakes.There was emptiness. No network of any kind . Human or mobile. The place was inside a wildlife sanctuary. No thought of the phone ringing or a watsapp message. The senses were denied their familiar fulfillment. Strangely, they were quiet too. There were no thoughts of getting late for the office, pending files, or the approaching weekend. No concern about worldly issues either.Everything then felt so complete. That moment was special. Devoid of the past and the future, life felt so complete. No anxiety.Only awareness.I realized that “doing nothing” opens up vast possibilities of insights. It has the capacity of taking us inwards, breaking open the areas where sensory awareness is absent.There is tremendous peace there.
