The silence came in many forms, until i stopped looking for it.

The silence came in many forms, until i stopped looking for it.

Sometimes it came with precursors and signs, and sometimes it swayed in, unannounced.

But silence was never alone when it came; he and the silence came hand in hand.

His words echoed:

Once I said, 'That is the farthest end

We reach there

where the search is over, and thus is nihilism born."

He said without bending his tone, "Or perhaps we meet God!"

There is silence in the heart of peace,

like the monastic silence in the heart of caves carved in the ribs of hills.

Or I may not be there; neither you nor me;

a new life may await us there

either full of infinite possibilities

whose meaning may lie beyond this region where we are

striving to end all absurdities, striving to transcend all dualities.
