Words don’t come
Ideas flow through
Then there is silence
There is a space
A quiet stillness
It just is
So different from
The stories, the doings
It’s hard to share
Yet it is who I am right now
From this place of stillness
Need to listen
To connect
My journey continues. I’m learning to be comfortable with stillness; to not feel I have to talk about what’s going on, current or past. It works better when I allow a the words to “arise or not” when I’m with someone. I learning that questions can be more connecting then statements of what I’ve done. I’m not good at asking questions yet. But I will be.
You introduced me to Byron Katie. She taught me how to ask questions. Love Claudia
Barbara, What a powerful invitation to be with the stillness, to let my questions arise from the stillness, and to ease my urge to speak while listening more deeply and subtly into what the silence is saying without words. Game on…,I am all in! Love, Jim
When the question arises , the answer is near…. A poem I wrote years ago. Now I trust it and ask it with curiosity and kindness, courage. It’s my process and it’s liberating. Love you. 🙏
