I don't always need meditation. Often, simple silence is enough.
⠀
The one that comes when the children are already asleep, the phones are silent, the windows reflect the evening light, and the house smells of something warm.
⠀
I sit in the dark or with a small lamp. Silently. I don't listen to anything, I don't read anything. I just breathe.
⠀
This is the moment when I am not a mother, not a colleague, not a friend. I am just me.
⠀
Evening silence is like an inner shower. It washes away fatigue, unnecessary emotions, and the unspoken words of the day.
⠀
And it is in this silence that I am closest to myself.
⠀
If I lack something, I go to this silence. And I return filled.
