SOMETIMES I AM SILENT
Sometimes I remain silent so I can listen intently to others.
Sometimes I donβt agree with many of the things you say β and I remain silent.
Sometimes I am awestruck by many of the things you say β and I remain silent as it seems there are no words to wrap around your awesomeness.
Sometimes I am recoiling due to your anger, judgements, and forcefulness β and I remain silent.
Sometimes you donβt want to listen to me β and I remain silent.
Sometimes we need to learn how to connect in the silence without words so we can absorb each otherβs Beingness β and I remain silent.
Most people are uncomfortable with my silences because they donβt know how to adapt and appreciate the silence.
When I do speak, I want my words to come from a place of resonance within my heart.
I want to speak of love, wisdom, compassion, encouragement, and acceptance.
Silence is the womb for meaningful words to be born and to come forth for self and others.
Welcome Silence, my dear friend.

FEET Photography by RutheeSea
LIFE may seem upside down, so let's embrace SKY.
In my experience, any time I humbly happily put my bare feet onto Earth or into riverπ§π§or stream or puddle-pool, or into Air/Space πͺοΈ these movements connect me more deeply to my core essence -- and to Gaia. I have been invited to walk on coals, but that has not happened. Well, not yetπ₯!
π£Tell us your story about your feet connecting....π£
