Having the most to say, but saying the least. Quiet moments to inspire peace during noisy times. Withholding one's tongue, not jumping in and barking when the other dogs bark, having great restraint, teaching only those who learn, learning from those who do not teach, teaching anyone who has a desire to learn, not being equipped with an ability to learn, but learning more than is taught.
Getting one's information from sunbeams and moonwalks, not knowing anymore than the other guy, not knowing how you lived so long, not knowing how to stay healthy, not knowing what makes you sick, turning a sickness into a livelihood.
Keeping well fed and well watered, knowing what will cause you death, staying far away from a participation in uneasiness, talking only to those who do not listen, remembering things that she does not, not remembering what does not matter.
Saying you are able to teach when you are not even able to learn, knowing things that the other guy does not, keeping it all a secret, reading books that were burned, knowing a foreign language no one speaks but that will bring you peace.
Promising to share one's peace with anyone who will listen, teaching you how to feel this peace.
