i have nothing to offer you,
but this touch, where i disappear
i want to surrender to your silence which peels me.

A MUST surrender
to the Great Silence
which peels any remaining me.

He paused,
half hopefully, half timidly, whenever Captain Whalley
made the slightest movement
in the deck-chair,
as though expecting
to be conciliated by a soft speech
or else rushed upon
and
hunted off the bridge.
— Joseph Conrad,
The End of the Tether, 1902

Whalley's lawyer retrospectively describes him in the same manner:

"The old fellow looked as though he had come into the world full grown and with that long beard.

I could never, somehow, imagine him either younger or older [...]

There was a sense of physical power about that man, too.

And perhaps that was the secret of that something peculiar in his person
which struck everybody who came in contact with him.

He looked indestructible by any ordinary means that put an end to the rest of us.
It was as though he were certain of having plenty of time for everything.

Yes, there was something indestructible about him;
and the way he talked sometimes
you might have thought he believed it himself"

Wang asked Wu Hsiin:
"When shall I achieve this clarity?"
Wu Hsin replied,
"When the when is dead".

All pursuits
All searches,
Takes one away from the natural state,
That state in which one always is.
Wu Hsin

All methods bind.
Those who are free
Hold to no system,
No regimen.
Wu Hsin

Embrace, my child, that which
You seek to avoid;
The fear of absence.
Absence of concepts,
Absence of ideas,
Absence of anyone to have them.
To be fully present therefore requires that
One be fully absent.
This is the Great Emptying.
Wu Hsin

When one becomes water,
One's thirst is quenched.
Wu Hsin

Know what you are not and
Be what you are.
