“In the beginning was the word
and the word was with God
and the word was God” ~ John 1:1

“Better than a thousand useless words is one useful word,
hearing which one attains peace.
Better than a thousand useless verses is one useful verse,
hearing which one attains peace.” ~ Buddha

“…since in order to speak,
one must first listen,
learn to speak by listening.” ~ Rumi

Words are thoughts.


Words are thought symbols uttered or inscribed
to denominate and communicate ideas.



Words are then,
Life is NOW.



Life is a word game:

Adding a few syllables to the Ineffable,

we play the word game of life

until we find and become THAT –

the Silence that says ALL.



Language can be a ladder for ascent to the Ineffable.



With wisdom words we implicate that

Truth words never explicate.



Truth transcends wisdom:

Wisdom is primordial; but,
Truth is pre-primordial.



There’s nothing to say, but words point the way.

So, let’s elevate our spiritual “lexi-consciousness.”



Cosmic contra-diction:

In the beginning was the Word,

but in the end Silence says all.



We maximize the impact of our words

when we minimize the number of our words.



The epigrammatic is most dramatic.



Better than any words is experience.



As the Bible says, “God” is a word – a noun –

with countless connotations, different for different people –

all believing or disbelieving in “God”.


“God” is a word designating different ideas of a Transcendent Power.



Thus, “God” did not create man,

but man created the word “God” –

with thoughts from ruminations, revelations, intuitions, and speculations,
trying to identify THAT which is beyond words, beyond all thought.



When words are inscribed or uttered with deep insight

and heartfelt compassion, they can be very powerful.

Such words are imbued with the energy of their originator.

So, words from an ‘enlightened being’ are like sun rays;

they radiate the light of their Source.



Live laconically, and

Walk your talk:



Join “The Society of Laconic Walk/Talkers”, where –

The less we talk,
the further we go.

The further we go,
the more we Know.

The more we Know,
the less we say,

’Til as Silence we are the Way.

“Speak little; say much.”

~ Swami Ron Onandonananda
