Beyond The Question

"Can I weave a nest of silence, weave it of listening..."?

"One must first become small, nothing but a presence,

attentive as a nesting bird. Proffering no slightest wish

toward anything that might happen or be given.

What a fine way to describe meditation.

I'm thinking its possible to do this anywhere...

especially when you find yourself in waiting rooms, 

or crowded loud spaces with lots of action and noise.

"Only the warm, faithful waiting, contained in one's smallness.

I suspect she means smallness in relation to the universe,

rather than smallness as in unimportant.

We're important in our smallness.

We're important in our silence...

"beyond the question, before the answer."

My question is: will we overcome this current atmosphere?

I sit in silence before the answer

holding unto hope;

holding unto goodness.
