Connecting silence, speech, and action.

As the water stilled by wind’s ceasing, footfall’s lacking, creature’s resting

So is the right mind in its silence

A mirror, reflecting made and Maker

A cover, concealing, protecting, inviting

As the pond stirred by trout’s rising, leaf’s alighting, rock’s skimming

So is the right word in its moment

A pattern, altering plane and perspective

A ripple, rebounding, expanding, inviting

As the bank struck by wave’s lapping, with sands’ moving, life’s growing

So is the right action in its response

A shift, coming from speech and silence

A transformation, touching, beginning, inviting
