"Even a Fool,

When Holdeth His Peace,

Is Counted Wise;

And He That Shutteth His Lips

Is Esteemed as a Man of Understanding."

Proverbs 17:28

 

When nothing is said, nothing is known, secrets kept,  no one learns, say it and be betrayed, open Pandora's box lid and they fly out, keeping a lid on it and nothing is heard, when nothing is heard, nothing escapes, nothing will be hurt, and nothing will be healed, except you. A man of understanding understands all and says nothing to no one. His lips are tight, his only friend is HASHEM, and this he understands. Mortals betray, secrets used to destroy and not heal. Clouds cover the sky, lips cover the mouth, tefillin covers the arm. Keeping it covered, undercover, spies everywhere, not knowing how or why. Secrets written in texts over 2,000 years old, no one reading them, no one knowing. Secrets passing customs, bags not checked, in disguise, untruths, survival of the fittest. Reading between the lines, discovering age-old phenomena that feels good. Rockets shooting up to stars leaving bottles with notes on islands. No one swimming, except me: Al-One in a pool of crystal clear pure blue water, untouched, unharmed.
