Falling in Love

"Close your eyes, fall in Love, stay there." Rumi

What does it take to sit in silence? 

Every day a new arrival 

Every breath an adventure. 

Eyes closed,

Just sitting.

Boredom comes,

So many times

I resist it

Craving for entertainment

And dopamine rush

And then, resistance

Becomes entertaining

I let it be

Every resistance an adventure

Eyes closed,

Just sitting.

Irritation comes

Body aches

And restlessness kicks from within

Mind responds

Like a lion in a jungle.

Every response an adventure.

Eyes closed,

Just sitting.

Rumi says

Close your eyes

Fall in love

Stay there

Every falling in love an adventure

Sometimes fear

Insecurity

Adrenalin rush

Sadness

Sometimes joy.

Eyes closed

Just sitting.

Falling in love.
