Words stand between silence and silence:between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. When we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from God, nor from ourselves, because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.
Thomas Merton
my practice
is to walk through the mud
and leave dirty prints across the page
to sit in the cave
behind the waterfall of words
and notice a small fern
growing there
and at the tip of a frond
an even smaller insect moving
where to now?
(Simon Williams, 7.8.2012)
