Value?

 “You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.”

(Sherlock Holmes/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).

I hear that “silence” is invaluable,
And yet it is the noise of life that brings richness of experience and wealth.
It is only when you realise “nothingness” brings total “silence”,
That you will finally understand, the universe is telling you, “Nothing” is invaluable.
If you know where to look, all can be found in abundance in the universe,
And all that you find deserve to be treated with equal value.
It is only the need of the moment that tips the balance.
Ask the thirsty man lost in a desert and he will tell you.
