In any activity, every time you’re quiet and aware, you have the chance to connect with yourself. Most of the time, we walk and we don’t know that we’re walking. We’re standing there, but we don’t know that we’re there; our mind is miles away. We’re alive, but we don’t know that we’re alive. We’re continually losing ourselves. So quieting your body and mind and sitting just to be with yourself is an act of revolution. You sit down and you stop that state of vacancy—of losing yourself, of not being yourself. When you sit down, you can come back and connect with yourself.
