Silent Seeking

        Silent Seeking 

Silent seeking is not about 

any goings on in the outer 

world, where the daily bread

is given with substantial helpings 

of humanity’s self-created

suffering. 

Thankfully, there is a place 

sacred where silent seeking 

is most welcome. Remarkably, 

there is no striving or doing 

a thousand correct things 

to check off a to do list. 

Simply sit awhile in silence,

let seeking come into 

the silence, as welcome 

as a cool desert breeze 

beneath the rising moon. 

Once you have found 

the sanctity of your 

silent seeking, you 

will wish for nothing, 

except more lush 

moments, in the silence.
