Seijaku

__________________________________________________
Silence first knows of itself Self-knows only answers For self or silence, there is no room for questions The measure of silence is equal to the measure of self There is no more and there is no less It is for what it is A stringent strategy Discipline is absolute Accords of righteousness Benefits for the private sector The world of the deaf has accustomed itself to a world of the hearing Seijaku teaches parallels where the hearing finds the paradox in the world of silence that offers solutions a balance worlds of the nexus creative self-equality within themselves and the world around them Failure invites chaos and mayhem Always remember shadows are friendlier forms to the daylight then are with the night.

It's a beautiful share when balance extracts the equilibrium of thoughts as there'll be a time when a king stands next to a pauper in the queue of Heavens gate; no titles, race, nationality, faith, etc, the universal communication and the PLUS complete healing; blind, deaf, no limbs-new limbs, etc. Aloha William
