Listen  to  the  Silence . . .

"I can never hope to be more enlightened than in those moments when I can turn off the boom box in my brain,
go beneath the tension and begin, for just a moment, to match the silence of the trees.
I discover a serenity that is fluid and alive in ways unmatched anywhere else in my life.
Boundaries dissolve, I feel what the trees and the grasses and the wind feel.
The light is all of us, and a wave of love flows through, exhilarating me-us with a radiant joy
that bursts the container I once knew to be myself."
