The stillness ringing in my ears

Inhaling
Exhaling
Rising
Falling
Lavender specks
Appearing
Fading
Gentle
So peaceful
The roar of an engine
Itchy

The stillness was ringing in my ears, a moment later a car passes and my shoulder begins to itch. These were my observations during my first seated meditation alone, which lasted exactly 10 minutes. Homework that E gave us at our last practice. Very effective. Now I have a reference whenever my mind and drishti drifts during practice. Thanks E. Om.
