What quiets your mind? 

Where do you find the peace to not think and be entirely present? 

For me it when I am dancing. My hips react to the drums, my feet to the keys, and my shoulders to the brass. My brain becomes an ensemble of music and nothing can distract me. 

I can also lose myself in a tedious task -- a meticulous and repetitive motion that allows me to forget about the future results of my labor. I feel confident in each step, and can relax into the repetition. 

The work featured explores my experience with different states of meditation from these moments of mindfulness to traditional seated practice. 

What do you discover when you silence your thoughts?
