I like the way you speak of silence not as absence, but as a living presence.
This gives a feeling of the gentle unfolding of awareness, and the courage of simply being. Here, in the unspoken, love is not declared. It is simply inhabited.
Ahhh again I agree with your take on silence and connection through embodiment. Personally for me being in silence is a gift. That’s where I truly connect with myself. It’s where I find peace and clarity. And many times darkness, sadness and anxiety. But without the silence how will we ever truly know and feel and connect to those emotions. Silence is necessary for embodiment and truly finding yourself. I think many are afraid of silence because you’re just left with yourself, your shadow, everything you are. It’s not easy to sit with that.
Maria, I feel it the same…though, as you say too, at times what I meet in this vast space is not necessarily comfortable…and that is probably why many people rather distract themselves, fill life with noise, affirm and so on.
Wonderful reflection...
