The Silent Syllable

What is the silent syllable? The silent syllable is the silence that allows each new letter word or sentence to come into being. It is the invisible support to the visible world. In Buddhism the monks that chant Aum recognize the silence at the end as a necessary part of the word or chant to bring about the next Aum. The silence is integral and thus part of the word. It is just hidden to those uninitiated in such Oriental philosophies. This book of poetry seeks to find the hidden things in our lives that often go unrepresented or unnoticed and to initiate the reader into them. And then hopefully the reader will find that hidden place within that supports all that they truly are and all they have ever been.
