Interestingly, teachers in the past have never shirked from the basically
impossible task of trying to express silence. Some have done it quite
eloquently, like the Zen masters and poets of Japan, who managed to turn the
subjective experience of silence into high art.

Perhaps they'd rather not even try, out of fear of not being able to convey
their experience in a way that could touch another human being and possibly
inspire them.
You can't or won't be touched. You are untouchable in any way that could make a
difference for you. You are a fossil, a hardened piece of tough leather. If
there is a small heart beating in that carapace of yours Barry, it's the size
of a pea.
