In meditation, the sound of the mind is like the sea breaking on a far off reef, lulling us into extreme calm.

                        In meditation it is possible to dive –
       deeper and deeper into the mind
to a place where there is no disturbance
and there is absolute solitude.
It is at this point in the profound stillness
that the sound of the mind can be heard.
It is like the sea breaking on a far off reef,
and it lulls the being into extreme calm.
Like the sea it is a music primeval
and here is no storm,
only the silken waves soughing.
