The Silence of the Vagabond

 

The Nightingale, by Henry Justice Ford (1860-1940)

 

Out of silence look and listen.

Silence is not the ending of noise; the incessant clamour of the mind and heart does not end in silence; it is not a product, a result of desire, nor is it put together by will.

To live entirely as a dropout requires a love of wisdom that is unconditional

The Wild Swans, by Anton Lomaev

To live as an outskirter, as someone who totally has dropped out, requires a love of wisdom that is unconditional. This is meditation as an art of life.
