You’re not walking the Path

Sitting never ceases to reveal this: the calm behind the curtain on which your mind makes the conceptual decorum of religions’ dances,

Silent sitting is the ultimate path.
Sitting places you on the ultimate path.

And until you sit in silence,
You’re not walking the Path.
You’re just pacing along the curtain fabric,
Brilliant, loud, delicious, painful, meticulous, rough,
You’re just undulating endlessly

As long as you are not sitting in silence,
You are not moving forward.

When you finally sit in silence,
The Path is no more.
