close your eyes

when was the last time you closed your eyes? i mean, the last time you really closed your eyes? the last time you shut down for a few minutes, amid the lcds and touchscreens. you let everything go and just explored the midst of your brain. you unplugged the headphones and shut off the lights. you didn’t take a nap. you just laid there; thinking, planning, dreaming. you sat at your desk and ignored the constant flow of your inbox. you stopped talking and began listening. you saw nothing, but it led to so much more. you went into slow motion, and it felt so good.
