“I imagine and therefore I belong and I am free.” Emily Dickenson
As a writer and a passionate reader, this quote inspires me. Every time we open the cover of a book, we enter the world of someone’s imagination.
Thank you for reading A Moment of Quiet is Nothing to Fear. I hope it sparks a desire for you to enjoy the magic of your own awesome mind. For fun, try my little game below.
Find your favorite quiet place.
Put a timer near you and set it for 5 minutes (or ask someone with a watch to keep track for you).
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Breathe out.
Keep your eyes closed.
Take another deep breath.
Breathe out again.
Try not to peek.
Take one last deep breath.
And exhale. S-L-O-W-L-Y
Feel the quiet. Let it cover you like a blanket.
You mind is dancing with images. Let the movie play.
Keep your eyes closed and stay in your favorite quiet place until your 5 minutes is up.
Did the buzzer ring already?
Open your eyes now.
Smile.
What did you see? What did you think about?
Draw a picture, make a collage, write a story.
Tell us about yourself and where you found a moment of quiet.
Send your thoughts or artwork to us at www.amomentofquiet.com, or 2261 Jackson Street, San Francisco, CA 94115 and we’ll publish it!
p.s. If you fall asleep, that’s completely fine. It means you were tired! Just try again another day.
