'The Origin' p. 9

'Emptiness is silence ... It is the quiet that falls with the snow, when the fields of labour are covered in white and trees have withdrawn into patience. That quietness is not the cessation of shouts, pounding feet, and pumping arms, but their origin. It is the source of day and the origin of spring. Silence is not the end. It is the beginning ... 
Only after silence breaks into sound does emptiness become all things.'
