1. Always everywhere silence attends me... like dreamless sleep wrapped warm in wool; like the beauty of an empty bowl. 2. We're shards of glass, stained, of course, with pure light pouring through. 3. Raging, halted in morning traffic, I laughed as I saw, at the edge of the windshield, shimmering droplets of last night's rain. 4. Water reflected on rockface keeps writing in light the same thought over and over.© Barry Spacks
