The Silence of Breath
Suzy visits her great-grandma in São Paulo and faces challenges with her noisy surroundings. She learns the power of mindful breathing to find calm and honesty in her heart.
Suzy arrived at her great-grandma's house in bustling São Paulo. She loved the city, but the noise was overwhelming. Her puppy, Poppy, seemed anxious too. Suzy's great-grandma noticed her discomfort. - Why are you so tense, my dear? her great-grandma asked. - I can't hear myself think with all this noise, replied Suzy.
Suzy tried to find a quiet corner to read, but every room was filled with the sounds of the city. Even the garden, her usual refuge, was noisy. - I just want some peace, she sighed to Poppy. Her great-grandma watched her struggle and nodded knowingly. - Sometimes silence is not about the absence of sound, she said.
Determined, Suzy put on headphones, but the noise still seeped through. She tried to build a pillow fort for some quiet, but it didn't work. - Why is it so hard to find silence? she asked herself. Her frustration grew, and she felt like giving up. Poppy whimpered beside her, sharing her distress.
Feeling defeated, Suzy sat on the porch with Poppy, ready to give up on finding peace. - Maybe I'll never find quiet here, she lamented. Her great-grandma joined her, sitting down with a gentle smile. - Have you tried listening to your breath? she suggested. Suzy shook her head, unsure what her great-grandma meant.
Her great-grandma closed her eyes and took a deep breath, showing Suzy how to do the same. Suzy followed her lead, feeling the air fill her lungs and then slowly leave her body. - I can hear my breath! she exclaimed. - Sometimes, finding silence is about being honest with yourself, her great-grandma explained.
With practice, Suzy found calmness within herself, despite the city's noise. She felt more honest and connected with her own feelings. - Thank you for teaching me, she said, hugging her great-grandma. - Remember, silence is always with you, her great-grandma replied. Suzy smiled, feeling at peace at last.
