[Dan Slife]

Hi Don,

Yes, I think so. It was seeking something I had always taken as an inaccessible abstraction, and seeing in it a living breathing newness in the moment.

Thank you for sharing the story of unexpected silence. That gets at part of the experience I had: that the trees were speaking, that the ground was speaking, that an ancient presence is always speaking a mysterious language, and its heard only when the monkey mind is willed into silence.

Best,

Dan
