Esposito!”

There would be a type of silence for when you weren’t saying anything and another, different type for when you weren’t saying something. There would be a third type, for when you didn’t know the word that captured the feeling you were having, a fourth type for when you knew the word but didn’t want to say it, since in saying it you would clip the feeling’s wings, and a fifth type, the rarest and most quiet, for when you weren’t saying something but the person you were talking to already knew what it was.”

“There would be,
half a million things,
I could do,
yet I don’t know,
what would be so?
When I will see you,
for the first time,
calm, twined in your
daddy’s arm,
coming towards me,
I could do,
half a million things-
caress your skin,
fondle your chin,
stroke though your limbs,
smoothly touch your lips,
and make my silent wishes,
for your health and,
your intellect.
Half a million things,
I could do,
yet I don’t know,
what would be so?
When I will see you,
for the first time,
I could say,
half a million things-
call you my kid,
read a fine script,
whisper love in your ears,
sing a hymn.
Half a million things,
I could say,
yet I don’t know,
what would be so?
I fear though,
what if I am unable to,
do any of this,
and all I end up with,
is,
just a knot of tears,
loaded with,
some of the most pure prayers,
I have ever chaired.
Half a million things,
I could do and
I could say,
yet when it happens,
little will my practice play.
Half a million things,
and I wouldn't know,
how and where one begins.”

“There would be no call for ecological campaigning had nature not been exploited and abused. We experience the ground now bringing forth thistles as soil erosion devastates formerly arable land and deserts overtake fertile farms. Rivers and the atmosphere are polluted thoughtlessly and we are fearful of the consequences of a depleted ozone layer and the devastation of the greenhouse effect. We are not quite at home in our world, and somewhere in each of us there is a nostalgia for a paradise that has been lost.”
“There would be no chance at all of getting to know death if it happened only once. But fortunately, life is nothing but a continuing dance of birth and death, a dance of change. Every time I hear the rush of a mountain stream, or the waves crashing on the shore, or my own heartbeat, I hear the sound of impermanence. These changes, these small deaths, are our living links with death. They are death's pulses, death's heartbeat, prompting us to let go of all the things we cling to.”
“There would be no chance to get to know death at all ...if it happened only once.”

This instauration of trust, this entrance of man into the city of man, is that between word and world.”

Generations dying in the ovens of hatred. Future generations scarred by the cold fires of radiation and renewed hatred.”

A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.”
