presence and attention

A reminder from Franz Kafka:

You do not need to leave your room.

remain sitting at your table and listen.

Don’t even listen. Simply wait.

Don’t even wait. Be still and solitary.

The world will freely offer itself to you

to be unmasked, it has no choice.

It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
