Silence shared in words
presents
From One Silent Heart to another Silent Heart
What is the hidden mystery
in the silence between the pages in front of you?
All that I want to say to you
is in my gaps.
I use the words only to create gaps.
So when I am simply looking at the pages,
I am giving you a chance
to receive the message
which cannot be said in words,
which can only be relayed,
transferred,
in utter silence.
There is an ancient proverb:
"People will believe anything,
if you whisper it."
Particularly if you want the women to hear anything,
whisper it!
But I go
one step further.
If you really want
to express the truth,
don't say anything about it,
just leave the gap.
Let people hear
without your saying anything.
That's the only way truth has always been transferred
from one silent heart
to another silent heart.
In utter silence is
the only possibility
to meet,
to merge,
to share.
A joke for you.
The purpose of the joke is not the joke.
The purpose is the laughter that follows,
because in that laughter your thinking stops.
In that laughter, you are no more mind.
And after the laughter,
just a very small gap
and I can reach
to the deepest core of your being.
An Englishman,
a Frenchman,
and a Russian were arguing about the nationality of Adam and Eve.
"They must have been English,"
the Englishman offered.
"After all,
only a gentleman would share his last apple with a lady."
"They surely were French,"
the Frenchman asserted.
"They were so hopelessly in love."
"They could only have been Russian,"
declared the Russian.
"Who else would walk around naked,
have but one apple to eat between them,
and think they were in paradise?"
