Speaking…or Not

Blanka Mateno

In a normal day we hear many sounds…radio, smart phones dinging, news of unnecessary shootings, international unrest, life’s hustle bustle….

It is important to find solace amidst the chaos.

DO NOT SPEAK —– UNLESS IT IMPROVES ON SILENCE.

                                                                                                             – BUDDHIST SAYING

The Invisible Red Thread

“An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, and despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but will never be broken.”

– an ancient Chinese Proverb

Autumn

He says a word,
and I say a word – autumn
is deepening.
