Learn To Be Quiet

You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.
You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary.
And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

— Learn to be quiet by Franz Kafka

This 'simple' act described above is a terror to so many. They don't know what to 'do.' I used to be like that. Sometimes I still am.
