the universe says to us
“fifteen billion years of evolution and only you can fail in the way you can fail, no one else can mess up with quite the same elegance and aplomb as you, creature, and you are quibbling, you are quibbling between success and failure, or between what you think is success and what you think is failure.”
and silence may not mean just being absolutely quiet…it may mean you don’t always have to come up with an answer for a problem that appears…that you can actually sit there in a kind of soulful meeting with what is occurring at any one time.
