60
I think what's missing in our lives is enough silence. We have acclimated to the overloading of ours senses and in the process deadened ourselves as well. There is so much peace and serenity that returns when the outside world is silent. The mind then mirrors that silence within. To return to silence is not at all frightening. In the midst of that unmoving stillness, the willingness to die arises naturally and effortlessly.

listening to water
lap against rock
I'm ready to depart
