Where to next?

When in silence, 

Noise overwhelms you, and

When in noise, 

You cannot hear a thing.

---

Explore the noise, 

Its many cacophonies:

Noise precedes melody, 

And melody precedes silence.

---

When in resting, 

You are as busy as ever, and 

when busy, 

You finally find rest. 

---

Explore the busyness, 

Its source and direction: 

Busyness precedes work, 

And work precedes rest.

---

 

When awake, 

You feel as if you are dreaming, and 

When dreaming, 

You finally feel awake. 

---

Explore the dreams, 

Their content and colour:

Dreams precede passion, 

And passion precedes awareness.
