Sit in a quiet room.
Listen to the ringing in your ears.
That's silence.
Don't talk.
Now listen to your breathing.
Listen to the pattern.
But don't change it.
Let yourself relax,
In blissful silence,
Until the silence becomes too loud,
For your own thoughts to roam.
Until your head hurts and you feel dizzy,
Sick to your stomach.
Now leave.
Listen to people.
Listen to the world around you.
Listen to ocean waves crashing against each other,
Or the popping of grease on your stove.
Maybe even the screams of teens roaming the streets late at night.
Just listen.
