Silence

Much of what most of us do revolves around action. A calvinist ideal of pushing and pushing until exhaustion. Much of what the greater world has done-what the universe has done-revolves around inaction. The moon pushes and pulls the tide in and out. The sun heats the earth. Animals observe. Grass grows only when it’s time. We confuse, to our detriment, effort with ends. If we simply experienced-merely listened and watched-we would come to the point where we understood how little action need be taken to accomplish things. How much we can let go. How unbelievably terrifying that is.
