Emptiness
Sometimes there would be a rush
of noisy visitors and the silence
of the monastery would be shatteredThis would upset the disciples; not
the Master who seemed just as content
with the noise as with the silenceTo his protesting disciples he said
one day, “Silence is not the absence
of sound, but the absence of self”Anthony de Mello; “One Minute Wisdom”, p. 142
