Time for Silence

The beauty of the mountain
is talked about most from a distance,
 not while one is scaling the summit
with life at risk.

That is the time for silence,
one-pointedness,
reflection,
and drawing upon all your skills
so you might return from the cloud's domain
and inspire others
to breathe closer to God,
while still human,
the way you did.

--Hafiz, from A Year with Hafiz
