“There is nothing new under the sun,” it is said; thus, everything you think, believe, and know is not original to you but learned from others. In other words, what we all like to proclaim as “my life, my way” is copying someone else’s with the label of “me” or “mine” attached to it. The original “new” life is like a child seeing a flower for the first time and without the parental commentary of what kind of flower it is, or observing a starlit sky without knowing a thing about stars, just mesmerized that something so vast and beautiful shows up just for you every night. Do you see? What you think (believe, know) masks what is actually “new.”

It is what you don’t know and will never know that is new, and if you think about that, it too will fade into your reason and be lost forever to that which is “under the sun.” “New” yields to the light of mind but shines into the eternities where no thought exists. Your silence is the light.
