Seijaku

__________________________________________________

                             Silence first knows of itself
                       Self-knows only answers
             For self or silence, there is no room for questions
     The measure of silence is equal to the measure of self
                                There is no more and there is no less
                    It is for what it is
                  A stringent strategy
                      Discipline is absolute
                        Accords of righteousness
                               Benefits for the private sector

                     The world of the deaf 
                    has accustomed itself 
                         to a world of the hearing

        Seijaku
                    teaches parallels
                                 where the hearing finds the paradox
                                    in the world of silence that offers solutions
                        a balance worlds of the nexus
                     creative self-equality
                within themselves and the world around them

                                  Failure invites chaos and mayhem

               Always remember
                                      shadows are friendlier forms to the daylight
                        then are with the night.

It's a beautiful share when balance extracts the equilibrium of thoughts as there'll be a time when a king stands next to a pauper in the queue of Heavens gate; no titles, race, nationality, faith, etc, the universal communication and the PLUS complete healing; blind, deaf, no limbs-new limbs, etc. Aloha William
