For so long I have strived for
so much, looked to add up the
tallies of achievement, and
then even this was not fulfilling.
Enough!
Let me stop this race that ends
only in the darkness, and seek
instead not the striving but the
stilling in the restless empty world.
Silence!
Going to a place without noise to
listen and in hearing to find what
has been elusive: a space of absence
that tells its story only in the silence.
