The Right Kind of Silence

Is the most important thing. And it is always right here. And it is free. Anybody can drop into the silence anywhere any time. So what is the problem?

Just drop into the silence. Sit there and wait for the mud to settle and the water to clear, as the old Taoists liked to say. To see what arises, emerges, appears out of the silence to guide and direct us to who we are and what is ours to do. To show us what’s what and what needs to be done about it.

Rise up and do what is called for, when, where, and how it is called for. Doing the right thng, in the right place, at the right time, in the right way. And then drop back into the silence, waiting for the water to clear. Etc. In each situation as it arises, throughout the time left for living.

That is all there is to it. That is all there ever has been to it. That is all there ever will be to it. World without end. Amen!
