Learn to be quiet
Une de mes amies m'a récemment remis en mémoire ce beau texte de Kafka que je vous livre en anglais, ne connaissant pas la version française.
You do not need to leave your room .
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.
You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary.
And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
