The Silence

The poem that flowed through that morning’s meditation is a reflection of the profound silence I experienced, a silence that carries the wisdom of the universe in its embrace. This silence is the canvas of existence, where the breath becomes the brushstroke of the present moment, where fullness and emptiness unite into the sublime art of being.

Silence is a teacher, a companion that guides us back to the essence of who we are, beyond the cacophony of our thoughts and the loud noise of our judgments. It is in the quietude that we learn to listen—not just to the absence of sound, but to everything that sound does not reveal. We find peace in the gaps between the notes, clarity in the space between thoughts, and connection in the breath that sustains life.

In the shared solitude of this poem, you are invited to embrace the silence that ‘breathes trees, mountains, meadows, seas, and sky.’ Let it take you to a place where you can hear the subtle symphonies of existence, where the ‘beautiful play’ of life unfolds in the quiet spaces of your heart. Here, in this stillness, we reconnect, we remember, and we return to life with a renewed sense of wonder.

Allow the words to carry you into the silence they sprung from—a silence that holds the power to transform, to heal, and to awaken. This is where we meet ourselves, stripped of pretense, open to the beauty of now.

Without further ado, I share with you “The Silence”—a testament to the peace that awaits us in the embrace of stillness.

The silence

The silence breathes

Trees, mountains, meadows, seas, and sky

It lives in and out

The birth and death of all sounds

The silence,

Is both full and empty 

It is always present, before, or after

Immersing into listening to its melodies

Being with this beautiful play now

The Silence,

The space between where no thoughts, or judgments exist

The Silence,

The breaking point of reconnection to life

The silence,

Is rich and breathes

Trees, mountains, meadows, seas, and sky

The welcoming and farewell to all sounds

Immersing into listening to its melodies

Being with this beautiful play now
