• This silence, this moment, every moment, if it's genuinely inside you, brings what you need. There's nothing to believe. Only when I stopped believing in myself did I come into this beauty. Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say, 'Be more silent.' Die and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you've died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence.

• Silence
  is an ocean. Speech is a river.
  When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk
  into the language-river. Listen to the ocean,
  and bring your talky business to an end.
  Traditional words are just babbling
  in that presence, and babbling is a substitute
  for sight.

• The Silk Worm
  
  I stood before a silk worm one day.
  And that night my heart said to me,
  
  "I can do things like that, I can spin skies,
  I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people;
  I can be soft against a crying face,
  I can be wings that lift, and I can travel on my thousand feet
  throughout the earth, my sacs filled with the sacred."
  
  And I replied to my heart,
  "Dear, can you really do all those things?"
  
  And it just nodded "Yes" in silence.
  
  So we began and will never cease.
