…simply close your eyes and allow your ears to resonate with whatever sounds may be happening spontaneously, making no attempt to name or identify them, just as when one listens to formal music. After a while one hears the sounds emerging, without cause or origin, from the emptiness of silence, and so becomes witness to the beginning of the universe. ~ Alan Watts.  From his biography “In My Own Way” describing the relationship between the practice of meditation and John Cage’s piece 4’33”, also commonly referred to as the “silent concert.” [Image: Nevver, This is it]
