Silence

Be still, be quiet, let the world show us what it needs by asking through listening. Listen to the birds. Listen to the leaves rustling. Listen to the beautiful vibration of a hummingbird’s wings. Be so quiet that we might hear the crawling of a spider upon her web. All is alive and active in brilliant creation. Be so quiet that we hear the roots growing underground. Feel what it feels like to have no goal but to simply listen. Close our eyes. There is so much activity around us and within us at all times, and yet sometime we forget to notice this brilliant activity all around us and within us because of our conditioning. Breathe in, breathe out, hear the beautiful sound of air passing through our noses or our mouths. Feel the spaciousness within our chests as the air goes in and goes out. For today, let our ears guide us. Let our ears be our path to liberation. Let our ears expand our consciousness by noticing all that is in this present moment. Let our ears be our brain for today. Can we feel the beauty in the present moment when we truly listen to all the brilliance around us? When we stop, and listen, we are giving to the Universe. We are giving spaciousness to ourselves, to those around us, to the life-force energy that exists within all of us. When we stop, and listen, we are gifting those around us with the freedom to express what they need to express with our full participation of offering our silent presence. Our silent presence and active appreciation of the activity around us and within us is one way to express our gratitude for all that we are and all that we have, without forcing, pulling or trying to do anything. By simply being still, being present and being aware, we are giving. And when we give, we feel alive, we feel full, we feel the love expanding out of our chests as we know we are meant to. Let the wonders of the world come to us in the beautiful symphony of all that is around us today. Be the song of the Universe. So be it.
