Chapter 5 - Whispering Silence - Beyond theWaterfall

Beyond the Waterfall There is something about standing before a waterfall that makes you stop. You can see the water falling. You can hear it. You can feel the mist and take in the trees and stillness surrounding it. And yet, while looking at everything that is right there, another thought begins to form: What lies beyond it? Beyond the Waterfall is about that space between being present where you are and wondering quietly about what might exist beyond the edge of what you can currently see. The question isn't really about what lies behind a waterfall. It is about our own lives. What exists beyond where I am right now? What happens after the part I can already see? There are moments when the path ahead isn't clear. Perhaps we don't always need an immediate answer. Perhaps there is something beautiful about remaining present while staying open to what we cannot yet see. Finding beauty not only in knowing, but also in wondering.
