Immobility and Silence

Immobility and silence are not inactive.
The flower fills the space with perfume,
the candle - - with light. They do nothing yet
they change everything by their mere presence.
You can photograph the candle, but not its light.

You can know the man, his name and appearance,
but not his influence.
His very presence is action.
