A Step In The Right Direction

The silence is
all there is.
It is the alpha
and the omega.
It is God's brooding
over the face
of the waters.
It is the blinded note
of the ten thousand things,
the whine of wings.
You take a step
in the right direction
to pray to this silence,
and even to
address the prayer
to World.
Distinctions blur.
Quit your tents.
Pray without ceasing.
