notion of silence

There rose from the center of his shining soul the notion of silence eternal and old, the notion of nothingness that's known as Wu without which there's nothing that no one can't do. To flush out the thoughts from the mind every day and allow but nothingness therein to play is much like the finding of a treasure lost – one beyond the notion of value or cost. Sit for one half hour and one minute more and make sure to open your heart- and mind-doors and let in the forces that are all around that if ever sought for will never be found. Then bask in the beauty of life's subtle graces and let go of each of the up-welling faces that spring from the banks of deep bone-memory and let love and happiness be all you see. In silence the majestic soul-fires burn; with time many truths and much patience you'll learn; for there is a nothingness is each of us that forms with its vacuum the strong central truss upon which we build up our hopes and our fears each day of these fleeting but wonderful years.
