I think we spend too much time looking at the painting and forget completely about the canvas on which it is rendered.
Take the time to sit quietly and look at the fabric on which your life is woven and dont get caught up in the exquisite detail. Concentrate on the moments of silence between the sounds around you. See them drifting across your minds eye, recognizing their worth and then let them go.
By focusing on the Nothing that glues the Everything together I cultivate a quiet mind.
