We are Most Alive in Silence
A friend of mine says, “poetry is born from silence.” For those of you who have tackled prose with any passion, you get it! The ability to spill your guts needs to come from a point or center of deep contemplative silence. Silence speaks loud and clear on so many heartfelt levels. It has the power to love, debilitate, rescue and wash clean in one tiny breath. Silence produces clarity and a way back to its essence time after time after time. 2020 will have the usual set of shenanigans. War, hate, climate change, social media addiction, the rush to build personas to be loved. It will be hard to find silence this year. I guarantee it. We will have to fight for it and I hope we do. There is an innate calling in all of us to be with silence, to take in a sunset; a walk in the woods; a quiet chat with a friend; a prayer while driving to work; late night journaling after a long day. This call is the root of who you are and silence is the land on which you will build. Silence needs you as much as you need it, as you confront the giantness of our loud and volcanic world. Silence is the very breath of the Divine calling you back home...over and over and over again. Do everything you can today to enjoy its love.
Where do you find silence?
