  • Silence
    is an ocean. Speech is a river.
    When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk
    into the language-river. Listen to the ocean,
    and bring your talky business to an end.
    Traditional words are just babbling
    in that presence, and babbling is a substitute
    for sight.
