The Far Spindle

A small warrior sits on a roofless limestone terrace between stone pylons, beneath a thin edge-on galaxy.

The warrior sits outdoors on a terrace with no roof. The body feels the air and hears sounds but does not react to them. Letting sounds come and go without moving is stillness of mind.

The galaxy is seen edge-on, like NGC 4565, as a thin band of stars crossed by a dark lane of dust. Sova is an imagined world.

Practice

Sit outside for ten breaths without turning toward any sound.
