Too Wordy

Too much has been written about contemplation.

Not too much in the sense of over-valuation,

but too much in the sense of verbiage.

In other words,

too many words have been used to elaborate

on such a profoundly simple reality

which is in its essence

beyond words.


-----


My heart is not proud, O Lord,

my eyes are not haughty...

...I have stilled and quieted my soul;

like a weaned child with its mother.


- Psalm 131
