Emptiness

Emptiness

Sometimes there would be a rush 
of noisy visitors and the silence
of the monastery would be shattered.

This would upset the disciples; 
not the Master who seemed just as
content with the noise as with the silence.

To his protesting disciples he said
“Silence is not the absence
of sound, but the absence of self.”

~Anthony de Mello~
