Three score and ten!
They say that is about what we get.
I wonder about that sometimes.
Who will follow in my footsteps?
Everyone I have known seems to have gone away. Faded into the silence. It seems the silence is the only one who has stayed with me. But the silence is a great listener. Always there with me, hanging on each word I say. Never judgemental, just perhaps a little cold at times. And never seems to have any opinions. Sometimes I scream at the silence to speak up! Be a man! Say something!
Once, the dark lady of my dreams came to see me. But like a caterpillar, she was just waiting to burst from her cocoon and set this world alight. And my world seemed much too small to contain all of her beauty.
So what when I am gone? What will be of the silence? How could the silence survive without me to talk to? Perhaps the silence will be even more alone than I. But I am proud to say that the silence has been my best friend, loyal to the end, never left my side! A true Warrior on the Way!
Perhaps this is my lineage.
The father of silence!
I hope there will be somebody in the future with ears to hear, who might listen for my whispers in the wind, wrapped up with the silence.
Because for something that never spoke a single word, the silence has so much to say!
Namaste!
