constant, inescapable chatterings,
for our activities and automatisms
stir them up very more strongly.
But the noise which often breaks
the silence where one seeks peace,
is of a different kind.
These babbles come from our
disordered feelings,
shameful desires.
mistaken ideas.
It is useless to try to exorcise them
by religious ceremonies
or pseudo-psychic therapies.
There is only faith,
confidence in God
who alone can replace them
with a divine
and still more inescapable
background noise:
the universal harmony of
the kingdom of Heaven.
