A contemplative meditation on alignment with Good.

Good Speaks Like Silence 

May you hear
what does not raise its voice.

May the Good meet you
the way light meets an open hand—
without insistence,
without demand.

May its warmth gather in you
before you name it,
before you try to keep it,
before you understand.

May your steps fall into rhythm
with what is already here.

And may the day unfold
from that silent center
where nothing needs to be proven
and everything is already true.

— William Britten
