Secrets

Our behaviours are shaped to a greater degree by what we hide from others than by what we reveal to them. How we look, stand, gesture, listen and smile. How we do everything.  

The sound of silence

A good listener has a silent mind. Listen is an anagram of silent.

Still and small

The best course is always to ask your Self what to say, what to do or where to go. But you need a sanctified pause for this, an empty space of silent awareness. The voice is still and small and it doesn’t repeat itself.

No question, no answer

We bridle our anger when we stop answering questions we haven’t been asked.

Likewise, the chalice, suspended from a bough of the great oak in the walled-off garden of the grown-over castle.

“Look inside yourself.”
