Silence

“The present state of the world and the whole of life is diseased. If I were a doctor and were asked for my advice, I should reply, 'Create silence'.”

                                                           Søren Kierkegaard

So many people talking

Blogging

Posting

So much noise

Some of it is profound

Most of it is reactionary, impulsive

It is lies compounding lies

Misconceptions compounding misconceptions

Misunderstanding compounding misunderstand

We are witty

Stupid

Cruel

Trite

Sometimes

It seems

we would do better to

stop

breathe

think

and then perhaps

say nothing at all

but ponder these things in our hearts
