silence speaks...

‘Make peace with silence, and remind yourself that it is
in this space that you'll come to remember your spirit.
When you're able to transcend an aversion to silence,
you'll also transcend many other miseries.......’

~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

These beautiful little creatures, as well as speaking to us
about transmutation, renewal.. transcendence.. they
remind us to be alone with ourselves to listen to their
gentle requests, that we learn to allow the natural

transformation of things in our lives…
showing, a fine balance.. as they sit.. still..
with silence..

it’s true, isn’t it?
Silence can speak volumes…

Where do you go in times of the darkness.. brought to us
from emotional pain? Do you embrace the stillness..
the silence.. and go within to work through life’s stressors,
or do you hide in among the murk and fill the spaces
with doing and chatter.. anything to avoid a little light
on the situation.. on yourself?

Actually, perhaps it’s not as simple as that??
For all of our sameness we are all so very different at
our core.. and as well as dealing with life’s trials in
our own way, we also embrace different aspects
of ourselves at various times in our lives.. depending
on the situation.. the trial upon us..

What kind of person are you mostly.. how are you most
comfortable with you, and do you notice when you are
out of synch with your’self’?

Personally, I very much lean towards..being quiet..
usually preferring silence.. long luxurious stretches of it,

I like aloneness..doing by myself. I’m most comfortable

this way. But don’t get me wrong.. as with everything

in life there are many aspects to the whole.. I love people

and chatter as much as the next person.. but these times,

for me, very much need to be balanced..
with solitude, or I turn into a shark :-/

Some folks are naturally opposites to this.. and are
wonderful noisy, busy, doing, beings.. and in their times
of troubles they loose their selves by turning in..becoming
that uncomfortable silence.. that darkness we can find
to hide in. We do, all have our own little ways, don’t we?

During recent times, dealing (or not as the case may be)
with the boulders that life has put on my path, and the
personal issues they have raised for me. I have realised
how I sometimes operate under stress.. and why I
eventually turn into that shark lol..

Although while dealing with the situations practicalities,

I have very much been avoiding the silence.. my refreshing..
renewing silence.. Oh yes!. I developed a deep aversion
to it, and filled my space with as much noise and mindless
doings as I possibly could, fear wasn’t going to allow me
to shed too much light on that dark scary space. But, all is
as it should be I think.. time out to allow things to be
absorbed before beginning to process.. a little journey
around life’s circle.. always.. eventually leading..
home to your true self…

We wander through life..

munching away..

dealing with things..




from day to day..

then off we go..

grasping.. to cling.. before..




realising the inevitable.. change.. must begin..

turning within.. seeing.. our truth..

cocooned from illusion.. we get to the root.

finally.. emerging.. for sure..

to ride a fresh cycle.. circle life.. once more..

There is no such thing as messing up.
Only the mind judges that. Whatever
step you take is going to be the right one
since we are here to learn and to grow…….
