Emptiness,
stillness
and silence
are the sources
of the future,
our own and that 
of the cosmos.

What does not come
from emptiness, 
stillness
and silence,
comes from chaos
and anarchy,
and people trying 
to force their way
through the world,
as though they know
where they are going,
when all they know is what they want,
and what they fear--
not caring if it is worth wanting,
or anything to be afraid of.

Return to the emptiness.
Sit in the stillness.
Listen to the silence.
And wait for the guidance
that comes from the source
of mystery and life
beyond knowing and telling/saying/explaining,
as a beckoning from the mover
to the moved.
