Declutter The Road Is Clear
The candelabra broke, not because something was wrong. She was hearing the jittering of the mind. Just listening, feeling the difference. Focus was something she appreciated, and when it broke... she had to get it back.
Aaliyah, in her early twenties, sat among the chaos of a calm morning, the sunlight filtering through the leaves of the numerous plants adorning her small living room. Her mother hummed softly in the kitchen, the scent of spices mingling with the earthy aroma of wet soil from freshly watered pots. It was a perfect setting for introspection, yet her mind wandered relentlessly.
Lost in the noise of her thoughts, Aaliyah felt disconnected, as if floating adrift on a vast ocean without a compass. It was then she remembered the words of her grandfather, a Sufi sage who had taught her about the importance of 'the Name'. He believed that without invoking the blessed Name, all existence seemed vague, and one could easily find themselves lost.

Aaliyah closed her eyes and began to chant softly, letting the vibrations of the Name anchor her drifting spirit. Slowly, the noise began to dissipate, replaced by a profound silence. In this quietude, she felt a deep connection to everything around her. The rustle of the leaves, the distant clatter of utensils, even her own heartbeat seemed to synchronize with a universal rhythm.
The more she focused, the more the mundane faded into the background, and a sublime sense of clarity took its place. Aaliyah realized that mindfulness wasn't just about being aware of her thoughts; it was about recognizing the presence of the divine in every moment, invoked through the blessed Name.
As her session ended, she opened her eyes to a world that seemed brighter, more vivid. The plants looked greener, the sunlight warmer, and even her mother's cooking smelled more fragrant. Aaliyah smiled, feeling blessed, grounded in her faith and the mindfulness it fostered. She knew that whenever her focus might waver again, the Name would guide her back to this state of blessed clarity.
