And just this morning, I read this:
Silence attracts meaning... If you stay quiet for a whole hour, it will be hard not to write a poem. In silence everything becomes real. Everything deserves a poem.
Silence discloses the fullness of now, instead of always waiting and wanting more

Have you ever read "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot? There is a YouTube video of Eliot reading the poem aloud. I highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post -- just reading it quiets the mind considerably. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. It's how my recent poem came to be written—from silence.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Claire! From your description -- you are in an on-going meditation!
