this unquiet at times may be sensed as
absorbed back into the inner calm
or as witnessing the unrest in a detached manner

then
through time, and this cultivation of serenity

one silently communicates
this quietness wherever he or she goes
witnessing to and alerting others to the natural state

for

one has become a sanctuary of serenity
with no effort to be serene

* * *

then, one can enjoy equally sound and noise
when one sees sound and noise as moving
within this quiet~and~calm

one knows, from the inner quiet~and~calm,
both are expressions of Silence
