• Hush.
    Be silent, and listen.

    ...There's nothing to hear.

    Then be silent, and look.

    ...But there's nothing here to see.

    Then be silent, and feel.

    ...There's nothing for me to touch.

    Then be silent, and taste.

    ...But there's nothing here to eat.

    Then be silent, and smell.

    ...There are no scents here.

    Then be silent, and think.

    But I am too tired.

    Then be silent, and sleep.

    I cannot sleep; my mind is awake.

    Then be silent, and dream.
