We each possess a deeper level of being ... which loves paradox. It knows that summer is already growing like a seed in the depth of winter. It know that the moment we are born, we begin to die. It knows that all of life shimmers, in shades of becoming --that shadow and light are always together, the visible mingled with the invisible. When we sit in the stillness we are profoundly active. Keeping silent, we can hear the roar of existence. Through our willingness to be the one we are, we become one with everything.
