Before the noise

Please.

Be quiet.

And listen to it.

Words have done away with all meaning. You have taken the stones that pave the road of understanding and piled them into walls. You have stolen the world away from yourself and you have robbed the world of yourself. You have no real presence. No substance.

I can’t hear you behind your great wall of repetition.

Come out. Surrender. Be quiet. Listen to it.

Silence.

Let it sink in. Let yourself sink.

Emptiness. Nothing. Void.

Listen to it.

Without the words, the names.

It’s endless and it’s full. It’s all the potential that has ever been and ever will be. Listen to it. Then see that first idea take shape. Focus now. Witness that single point explode, deflagrate, spread. Burn without consuming. And, in the light, see new worlds forming. Mind as you create and are created. And listen. To understand.
