Truth
“Every revelation of truth is the hiding of something.”

An important mantra that I learnt from the NAAS community. One that I can remember. Sometimes to be present in silence can be more valuable than words. And it is a practice to be present, to be aware and to wait.
Hey breeze!
Did you come and go away?
Were you here
with the whispers of tender leaves?
Were you here
with the fragance of summer flowers?
Couldn’t you have
knocked on my door?
Didn’t you know I was right inside?
Did you not care?
Breeze!
Did you come and go away?
While I was inside the house
of my own business,
Wasn’t I just a knock away?
