Moonlight on a Thousand Rivers

Nov 9, 2024



Great bewilderment exists about the impetus to find our soul and our place in the world when confusion exists around this phenomenon of Silence. Because there are forces promoting this confusion with all their resources, we can no longer take it for granted. [Joy] and Silence belong together just as do profit and noise. So long as we live in a commercialized world, noise reigns. All the distractions that keep us from the center of our being, where stillness of soul can resonate with Silence, belong to the world of profit.


*Robert Sardello. Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness.


Love having no language
uses all languages - even silence


foremost silence
yes, silence speaks


This silence is not an absence
it is a presence always present - Presence


To say "Love," an expression of Love,
cannot get anyone there


How do you return to where
a thought arises from?


Can you feel Love
without thought intervening -
for one moment?


Can you enjoy Sunshine
without thinking "S-u-n-s-h-i-n-e"?


The Wine diluted
is diluted


The Wine remains the Wine
though diluted


Diluted Wine tastes diluted
undiluted tastes undiluted


Does the Wine change?
No, certainly not


Can you bear silence long enough
to welcome Love to show Its Face?


What is this?
no one knows a step away


When I say "Love"
I am not saying Love


Still, Moonlight reflects
on a thousand moving rivers
