Its been a month since I blogged...why ... i had nothing to say. Sometimes, silence is good. But why do we try to fill up all the gaps in our lives ... even in conversation, we sometimes get uncomfortable when we have nothing to say.
and yet ... I recall times of total bliss when i have sat in silence with someone I love, just enjoying the breeze.
I have attended workshops where we observe silence for days and each time i emerged with more clarity and a sense of freedom. When the constant chatter/inner dialogue stops...there is such a sense of relief and joy. I think its because we free up the energy that is tied up in inner dialogue and this puts us in a creative space to create what we want in our lives. I notice that when i am in this space, I am more present in the moment. I was watching TV two nights ago and there was a comedy on, and I was laughing out loud. I cant remember the last time i laughed whole heartedly. I was walking into my home this evening and I felt so welcomed by it... and i was filled with gratitude that I have a comfortable space to enjoy and share with others. Nothing has changed about my home.....but something changes inside me when ever i give myself time. I feel renewed and at peace with myself. That makes me a nicer person to be around ... for my kids, the people i work with and even strangers i pass by on the street.
If my kids read this they would say its mummy's"hippy shit"... maybe it is ....but its good hippy shit because i can sit in my own silent space and enjoy everything...both the doing and the being. how precious is that?
