It’s silent and serene, but my mind is not focused enough, caught as it is in a vortex of thoughts and struggling to break free from their grip.
Like me, there are countless others sitting still like statues with closed eyes. Are they too battling with their thoughts or have they found peace at last? Some of them appear to have dozed off in the seated position, judging by the tilt of their head and a partially open mouth. Surely, they have not gone into a trance.
