speechless before
these budding green spring leaves
in blazing sunlight
these budding green spring leaves
in blazing sunlight
~ Basho in NARROW ROAD TO THE INTERIOR
Silence enables us to see the sacredness of all life…"to see life steady and to see it whole." In an age that has lost all sense of the sacred, of awe and wonder at the Divine penetration throughout the physical, human plane, how much we need the recovery of silence. Without some sense of awe, there is little basis for meaning.
