Listening To the Silence

Listening to the Silence (a tribute to the thought of Eckhart Tolle) Unsought and arrow-like, an instant happiness speeds in upon the virgin mind when all desire is valueless; the choice of misery an incandescent now, burning out without a warning, gasping as an infant left to wonder where the love is... There is a way, for there is silence everywhere to hear— beneath the rocks, beneath technology, beneath the roaring vanity of lust, and when the ear will leave a space for consciousness, there is an unexpected joy, impossibly defined, a single-mindedness that understands the now. You are already on the path; there is no need for time. You will not find it anywhere, but there within you is a strange one that you thought you knew. Sit down, and look him over You have no need for clever thoughts, for he is God... and he is You. ~
