There is a space
between what you say
and what you truly mean
__
Live there for a while
__
Let the noise fall away
like coats shrugged off
at the door of your own mind
__
You are not empty
when you are alone
__
You are gathering
__
Every silent morning
polishes something unseen
inside your chest
__
The world will knock
with its bright alarms
and urgent hands
__
Answer it gently
__
But keep a room within you
where nothing shouts
__
Where your thoughts
sit cross-legged
and simply exist
__
Stay there long enough
and you will remember
__
You were never lost
__
Only unheard. 🌿

Incredibooks: The Masked Duet Series
So my best friend who loves the crazy world of reverse harem books put me on to this author named Reese Rivers and a two part book series she put together called the “Masked Duet”. The series is made up of two stories titled “Dance Butterfly Dance” and “Burn Butterfly Burn”.

I appreciate the call to taking time to be silent and listen to yourself for once and block out the messages coming in from outside.
This is beautiful Aarsh. Every Silent morning polishes something unseen. Truer words were never spoken. Nicely Done
This sound like meditation 🧘♂️. I love my meditation space, thats where I can handle the storm of life. Inside not outside. Internalizing .
This is gorgeous, Aarsh. These particularly stood out to me: “Every silent morning polishes something unseen inside your chest” and “But keep a room within you where nothing shouts” The first landed in my chest - or, perhaps, tuned me in to the polishing & I could almost glimpse or grasp it. The second is a very needed reminder. Thank you for sharing these words ✨✨
so many unheard voices. Great piece 👏👏✨
what an encouraging piece
Well-wrought! This quiet place opens a way rather than being an end. How strange is it, but how wonderful, that we should be capable of experiencing totality from one finite point, friend? Yet we were put in that place to do just that, or so I often suspect.
thank you
