CHOOSE INNER SILENCE
I realized I had a choice
Not a choice to be made with the mind
But a choice from the deepest
To stay with the silence of being
Residing in inner equanimity
No matter what comes
Or to continue to argue
And fight with the world
Whether that world
Is the world of thought
Or external phenomena
I grew tired of the endless argument
And the going nowhere resistance
And I made my choice
And then I devoted myself
To that choice
Again and again and again.
