keeping quiet

Now we will count to twelve
and we will all keep still
for once on the face of the earth,
let's not speak in any language; 
let's stop for a second,
and not move our arms so much....
-Pablo Neruda

This excerpt from Pablo Neruda is setting the tone for me these days as I step back from the airwaves, the broadcasts, the posts, the noise of opinions and speculations. I hope you too might take time to reflect on that perennial question: "What is mine to do today?"
