Un_Just

In an unjust, difficult world, our soul is often in pain and weeping. But, the silence...the silent place, the still center, is one I know that I neglect. Like white light, this silence of the soul contains everything... , Yet it transfers the warring jumble of noise and color into a peaceful blankness.  Call it acceptance or surrender.  The stillness of the spirit is the stillness of communion with truth beyond change. It is silent because it dosen't belong to the world of the senses. Spiritual knowledge that's ancient, if we have that knowledge.... let ourselves listen to it, and it will nourish us, if we permit.  For some, it is a great effort just to learn to listen to the noise of our souls. I have spent years blotting out joy with addictions, other drugs, or rationalizations.  I feel I have made enourmous progress when I learned to hear my own soul's noise. ................ But be assured, the soul's great silence can be achieved. It's just another damn choice.
