Three sounds

Three sounds. Wherever you are, this takes a minute. Eyes open or closed.

Listen for the first sound. The nearest one. A fan, a clock, your own breath. Name it silently.

Now a second sound, further away. Traffic, a voice, a bird. Name it.

Now a third, the furthest you can find. Name it.

Let the three sounds be here together, without going after any of them.

One more breath, slow, in and out.

Carry on with what you were doing.
