2021-02-04 Sit With Your Silence

There’s something very natural about sitting in silence. It’s a return to a more natural state of being.

Sometimes you have to sit with your silence for awhile before you have any insights. While writing this paragraph (as with most things I write), I had no idea what I was going to write. I sat in silence and waited for something to come to me. This is the power of the unconscious mind at work.

You never know what’s in there until you quiet the conscious mind and simply listen. That’s what it’s about. It’s about listening. I sit with my silence and listen for the next thing that wants to be written. I never know what it’s going to be.
