pull anchor
and journey
to that place
where all land
cries yes
and all water
envelops
limitless
possibility.
~ from ON FRIENDSHIP AND DREAMING by Mary Anne Hershey
The power of quiet is great. It generates the same feelings in everything one encounters. It vibrates with the cosmic rhythm of oneness. It is everywhere, available to anyone at any time. It is us, the force within that makes us stable, trusting and loving. It is contemplation contemplating us. Peace is letting go -- returning to the silence that cannot enter the realm of words because it is too pure to be contained in words. This is why the tree, the stone, the river and the mountain are quiet.
