January 06 … Silent Being
Today, sit silently with a friend for 30 minutes. Gaze at him/her regularly, and choose to See his/her True Self when you do so. If no friend is handy, find someone on a public bench and simply sit next to them for that same amount of time, doing exactly the same honoring.
Note that this is not a time to read or listen to music. Even if the other person is doing so, your task is simply to Be Present in his or her Presence. It is a powerful experience to simply BE with another human without the small talk and idle activity that normally keeps us from sincerely & deeply Appreciating a true sharing of Space.
