SA:  I guess your finished seeing if this quietness I
was talking about is the same as yours.  I think it
is, but you restricted it to 'mind'.  I was curious if
this quietness of your mind is also recognized outside
your mind.  For me, it's the same quietness, it
lingers everywhere.  It is not just silence for that's
an absence of sound.  This quietness I was referring
to is a total experience of sound mixed with silence. 
You were talking about meditation, and I was curious
about this meditation experience of yours.  I find
meditation can be a discipline in which one sits, and
as Sharath puts it, meditation, or experience in
general can be everyday.  So, I began to incorporate
our discussion with experiences not just found while
performing sitting meditation.  Quietness, to me, is
novel and primal.  It is ancient and ever-present now.
 It is not just space where sound is or silence is and
thus, the wind may pass through or a bird may sing in.
 Quietness also partakes with events, influences
events, and thus is involved, active, and something
experienced.  

Thanks for allowing me the moment to further discuss
quietness.


in the quiet woods,
a great horned owl is heard,
the creek bubbles by,
the quiet dances with;
     and is found in -
how this world moves...
     quietly
