ROUNDEL 7

 

 

SIT IN SILENCE, rest at peace in tranquil solitude,

Let all that worldly wordy hurdy gurdy cease.

Then seek the stillness of the Self in plenitude,

Sit in silence.

 

Jason sailed over saphire sea of Ancient Greence,

Aloneness vast, his own shining spatial latitude,

To find his symbol of the Self, the Golden Fleece.

 

If you maintain a sober solitary attitude,

Joy will gradually grow and not decrease;

Discover a real increase in truth, no pious platitude.

Sit in silence.
