Modestly scaled flutter book of lightweight kozo papers, hand printed passage from Dillard's book of essays Teaching a Stone to Talk, highlights of gold accent some of the page spreads.
From an ongoing Book in a Week series (not a book every week, but a book conceived, begun and finished in one week's time).
“At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, Now I am ready. Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening. After a time you hear it: there is nothing there.
. . .
But you wait, you give your life's length to listening, and nothing happens.
. . .
The silence is not actually suppression: instead, it is all there is.
