Zangen van stilte

2009 Altamira-Becht, Haarlem, ISBN 978 90 6963 875 1

In het woud der woorden

wandelend langs bomen van taal

vond ik de weg terug

naar het lang verloren land der stilte

daar waar geen voet ooit

één stap heeft gezet

daar waar stilte zo machtig is

dat ieder woord verpletterd wordt

onder verstild bladerdak.

Zo’n dertig jaar geleden schreef antropoloog-filosoof Marcel Messing De stilte die tot ons spreekt. Balanceren tussen tijd en tijdloosheid. Kern van dit boek was de teloorgang van stilte en wijsheid.
In Zangen van stilte worden de diepte en de kracht van de stilte bezongen. In deze dolgedraaide tijd, waarin een ontwaarding van alle waarden plaatsvindt en verruwing van de taal een uiting is van het losgeslagen zijn van de bron, wil dit boekje een stiltekompas zijn.
