There were certain things
that Buddha was silent about
with them
He didn't call it
the Noble Silence
they did
Then they said
what he was saying
by being silent
Later they said
that the noble silence
was us being silent
while they talked
That is only fair
for it was
their term
and they can do whatever
they want with it
so we are silent
and maybe Buddha smiles

I like this poem very much Jack

Thats only fair because there was some stuff in one of your poems that in a timely way opened something very important to me in my thinking. You reminded me that not all words are equal.
Thanks
Also did you notice that in another place I asked you a question about Buddha?
