For Those Who Share the World with Me Now

If at a water’s edge you linger and watch the heavens float through the water;

If beneath the stars at night you look up and wonder what the source of all this is;

If when sleeping you dream of wonderful things that fill you with joy, love, peace, and wonder;
If before a child you stand in awe, wordless, happy beyond reason,

Know that you sit in the same silence that all beings have dwelled in since before time,

that you commune with the same silence the world was born of,

and that same silence is the silence you move through, live through, love through, and will someday perish through.

Silence is the music all worlds dance to. It is the rhythm that sings between your heart beats and keeps time to your own breath.

Enjoy it. It is perhaps the only thing that lasts.
