Stillness

“…For once on the face of the earth
let’s not speak in any language,
let’s stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much.

“It would be an exotic moment
without rush, without engines,
we would all be together
in a sudden strangeness…

“Perhaps the earth can teach us
as when everything seems dead
and later proves to be alive…”

Pablo Neruda, from “Keeping Quiet”
