Silence

Silence

Can we offer that to ourselves?

What does it mean to listen, to be silent, to hear the cackling of the trees and the whispering of the flowers, the grasses, the rocks and the earth.

Can we offer silence to our thoughts? To those thoughts that loud inside our heads but do not offer peace or calm to our spirit?

What does it mean to listen to our thoughts but be silent on judging ourselves for our thoughts? Can we calm the ruminating mind by offering solace instead of problem solving, silence instead of constant chatter?

Can we offer silence to the earth? Can we let ourselves be with the earth, the sky, the sun and the moon without challenging what is? What if everything was how it could be right now, and silence was the answer to peace, to regeneration, to restoring the land and the sea, the mountains and the rivers and all the places in between?

To listen, one offers focus and attention but also silence. Who will you gift with your silence today?
