tacit cosmos
I crave it like a breath of long-forgotten air
reflection
calming
stillness
getting to know self
inner transformation

balance of spirit in an age of impermanence, transience, and passing
hearing the surrounding world, other people, and myself
poses questions about one's place in the world, identity, and the truth we fear
meditation
conscious being
goes beyond words, analysis, awareness
sacrum
absence
loss
death
entering into some "higher" and transcendent world, with its meaning and essence,
uniqueness and universality, immutability and timelessness, finiteness, and infinity
an uninterrupted silence in which human noise is minimized and the sounds of other earthly things
birds, insects, wind, lake waves on the shoreline, creaking trees - reach the ears and soothe the mind
