Deep inside is the ocean of the mind,
A mirror to reflect the face of consciousness,
Crashing on the surface tumultuous waves of thoughts and desires.
The reflection of the light is fragmented and scattered by the waves.
As thought waves subside in meditation,
The reflection becomes clearer.
Eventually only the gentle ripples of the mantra remain,
Until they too melt into stillness.
Then what we see when we look into the mind is the pure reflection of our divine consciousness,
The ocean of light without any shore,
And we are that light.

Silence,
My friend,
My trust in you grows steadily.
As I move deeper into your realm,
I become more aware of and more grateful for your flawless integrity and true soul comfort.
In you I find freedom from the polarized voices that debate and struggle in vain for solutions,
When in truth their only goal is to prove themselves right.
In silence I find not only a welcome respite from the never-ending cares of life and constant challenges of the world,
But also the miraculous and spontaneous blossoming of answers to questions that my thinking mind only wrestles with until it gives up in despair and exhaustion.
In silence,
In stillness,
Is the in-breath of peace.
