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.
