Quote

Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.

Language is to the mind more than light is to the eye.

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.

What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.

Everything the human being heard from the beginning, saw with its eyes, looked upon and touched with its hands was a living word; for God was the word.

I think words operate like musical notes that the eyeball hears.

Sound had always been my portal to poetry, but in the beginning, sound was imagined through the eye.

Also, as I lay there thinking of my vision, I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body; but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning, it would be like fog and get away from me.

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

But being quiet and meditating on sound is something completely different and will be discovered very soon by a lot of people who feel that the visual world doesn't reach their soul anymore.
