PERHAPS THE WISDOM IS IN THE SILENCE

When I was around 9-years-old, I remember looking into the mirror, intently. Eyes locked. Even then, I was keenly aware that what I was witnessing was something profound. I know now what I was experiencing was my Soul.

I could not look for long. The rawness and intensity of that meeting was super vulnerable.

Fast forward to the ripe age of 14 … I was with a group of friends at a bonfire when I was handed my first beer. It was the beginning of my freshman year in high school.

It was like a switch flipped. My Soul went underground and I began being who I thought others wanted me to be. I began seeking answers and validation externally.

This experience would be true for the next couple of decades, until around the age of 36 or 37.

It was at that time that my Soul began to talk to me again AND I began to hear it. Not because I was looking in the mirror, but because it was time.

About 10 years ago at a retreat, I remember there was dialogue about wisdom. These folks were pretty much debating what wisdom was. Eventually, someone else spoke, saying:

Perhaps the Wisdom is in the Silence.

I have found this to be true. It’s hard to get to Wisdom surrounded by a bunch of noise.

A dear friend said to me just the other day: The wisdom of your body is set free in the flow of your life force.

And do you know what the flow of your life force is? It is the Soul coming alive in your body. It is wholeness, it is peace, it is joy, it is the TRUTH of your BEing.

Coming to the Truth of my BEing, my Soul, my very FLOW OF LIFE, has required time, space and silence.

The flow of life force, of the Soul in the body IS God, is the Universe, is LOVE.

This is my form of ACTIVE(ism).

And I am so happy to share it with YOU.
