search Lao Tzu’s words:
silence reverberating –
to find his meaning!
those who speak don’t know; those who know keep silent; these are Lao Tzu’s words you say; but if they mean Lao Tzu knew; why did he speak five thousand words
Pai Chu Yi, quoting the Tao-te-ching, in Bill Porter, 1993, Road To Heaven, Encounters With Chinese Hermits, Rider Books
The paradox is, of course, that (we think) we need Lao Tzu’s words to find his meaning; how can we have the silence necessary to undertake our search, if his words interrupt that very silence? The silence reverberates to emphasize his absence.

There is great knowledge in silence. Nice.
I agree, Patti. As we say silence is golden
Those who can’t cultivate silence miss much wisdom, for wisdom grows in secret, silent places.
