The link between interiority and public discourse takes on a whole new dimension of possibility. Sitting here in the stillness, I can hear us thinking together. The collective nature of language and thought becomes a powerful experience rather than a concept. I am influencing and being influenced by each voice. But it is the silence, the contemplative stillness, which I wanted to point to.
Thought seems to come from that stillness.
I will see what today is like living inside of the possibility I just mentioned and having that influence my way of being with my parents, who are visiting, my wife, my children. . . .
