credo 6 - silence
the clamouring noise of our times
hides the holy - disables our noticing
yet there are off-beats of time we can attend

the clamouring noise of our minds
consumes our attention - distracts our soul
yet systolic beats of thought name our noticings

between the memes of our times
are counter balancing sensibilities
to pause our conviction - to open our hearts

between the memes of our minds
are roots of tradition and wisdom
to complete and challenge our understanding

so to extend our fervent hopes to good purpose

so to embrace the silence - and find blessing
credo considers what is - after considering what is not.
this exploration notices that holy silence is discovered
not away from noise and memes but in the counterphase of our beating hearts.
