Tranquility
Silence is like a river of grace inviting us to leap unafraid into its beckoning depths. It is dark & mysterious in the waters of grace. Yet in the silent darkness we are given new eyes. Sometimes it is good to leap into the unknown; good to practice leaping.

Every tree is full of angels.
Good one. Reminds me of something I just read: Zen is not thinking while being aware.
That’s the perfect definition of Zen. It explains the fundamental state of meditation.
Also: “The soul of the world speaks in silence” captures the spirit of the book The Alchemist.
