“THERE IS SUCH A POWERFUL eloquence in silence. True genius is knowing when to say nothing, to allow the experience, the moment itself, to carry the message, to say what needs to be said. Words are less important, less effective than feeling. When you can sit in perfect silence with someone, you truly know how to communicate.” . #Repost @lyndaacallen ・・・ @Regrann from @giftedmindfulness - START FROM STILLNESS . With the dawn of a new year, there is so much coming and going: messages, reflections, resolutions, imagining, feeling, and thinking. All of it blocks the true nature of WE that exists beneath all the noise and complexity. . Let's take a moment to breathe and drop into the silence beneath the cacophony. Allow the stillness to grow, to become more spacious. Bask in it. Let it hold you. Just for a moment, let there be nowhere to go ... nothing to do ... nothing to plan.... Only this. . Then emerge from and within this silent spaciousness - into the next moment, and the next. Into the day. And into this new year. "Ready to live out loud again," as First Nations storyteller Richard Wagamese reminds us: "sore and blue and jubilant, outrageous and raucous and clamouring for more. The sound of silence. The sound of self emerging." . May this New Year emerge from the stillness that holds it all. May we find and be at ease in the eloquence of silence. . .
