“There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So youd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise youll never understand what its saying.” ~ Sarah Dessen Weve become afraid of silence, or perhaps even desensitized from all the noise and distraction in the world and in our minds. That loss of silence has meant we have lost the opportunity to hear our own hearts as Sarah Dessen says, as well as our own thoughts. Not the chatter that bombards our minds with worry and fear, but the silent thoughts beneath the noise that invites us with curiosity to reflect on life, on ourselves, on experience itself. There is something about touching my rounded belly, tuning into another being’s heart, that allows me to drop into my own. Into the stillness of the moment that actually has so much movement. We are subtle creatures that need tenderness to pay attention to. For me, the more I soften, let get of control and needing to know and simply just listen, the clearer life becomes. I dont have all the answers, nor am I really looking for them. Its more a clarity of this moment, of just being without getting in the way of it.
