Like the delighted stillness of the silence <br />which is an emptiness that is full, <br /> <br />from which come the moments <br />graced by the specific; as <br /> <br />the scent of cherry blossom or <br />the petals of the plum; <br /> <br />when what endures, is the message <br />and needs us as messengers.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heidegger-questions-a-japanese-on-language/
