“The non-action of the wise man is not inaction. It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything. The sage is quiet because he is not moved, not because he wills to be quiet. . . . Joy does all things without concern. For emptiness, stillness, tranquillity, tastelessness, silence, and non-action are the root of all things.”

Silence Gone Silent Shore

“As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, So deep in my soul the still prayer of devotion, Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee. As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, The needle points faithfully o'er the dim sea, So dark when I roam in this wintry world shrouded, The hope of my spirit turns trembling to Thee.”

World Stills Soul Spirit Turns Stars Dark Prayer Silence Sea Sweet Flower Ocean Worship Silent Devotion My Soul Mortals Thee Retreat Needles Trembling Unheard Clouded Sweet Flowers
