When the noise stops there is no inner music to take its place. We must re-learn to be alone.

Nkechi A

But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myselt. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as wel as I can. 

The joy of such pattern is not only the joy of creation or the joy of participation, it is also the joy of living in the moment. Lightness of touch and living in the moment are intertwined. One cannot dance well unless one is completely in time with the music, not leaning back to the last step or pressing forward to the next one, but poised directly on the present step as it comes.
