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. Franz Kafka, 1883-1924, was a popular Czech novelist and short story author."

    Learning to be silent is most important for those of us whose voices are loudest. Not everyone has the privilege of being able to speak out and have their voices heard. "We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't."- Audre Lorde (The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action)

    Learn To Be Quiet Franz Kafka You need not do anything. 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. =============================================== I like this poem, though I have no desire for the world to offer itself to me - freely or not.
