Neither Here Nor There

Seeking silence

 I seek not the silence of absolute quiet

but the silence that comes when the mind is

stunned into emptiness by coming into contact

with the raw beauty and power of the absolute. 

It is the silence of no judgment, no argument

of not wanting anything to be different than it is.

It is only then that I am free.

It is only then that I AM.

My path to stillness is in nature.

Often alone but always away from

the blinding comforts of civilization

then can I see clearly

and be rightfully overwhelmed

by the power of what is.
