What is Hidden?
#Silence #Re-Emergence #WiderLight
Hi, friends,
While on a week-long retreat, becoming invisible while carrying what is visibly hidden as a gift to oneself and others, silence has found me. And oh is this so far from being unnoticed!
If we can find time to embrace silence for as little as a few minutes, to as much as every day, we can tap into our inner resources which is the overall impetus from where we move. Everything becomes full of sounds, and the birds singing or the old man walking with his cane humming sweet songs, become so alive, loud and clear. A silence expressed in beauty.
So, you know I know what I'm doing, and thus, feel even closer to you watching these lines get to you.
Silent, the sound of the wind feels close too, as work is being (un)done.
I'll keep it short and leave you with the following poem until we meet again.
"It speaks in silence,
In speech you hear its silence.
The great way opens and there are no obstacles." - Yongjia Xuanjue
Oh!, and yes, having our ups/downs, obstacles/ease, if we go down the well of silence, we can explore into this deeply hidden treasure of ours and find a way to enjoy it!
A good way to start is by quieting the mind, emptying the tank so to speak, being silent itself, only to fill it back up with loads of spoken, hidden intentions courageously ready to be heard, confidently, and purely.
May you have a pleasant week,
Best & Warm, Warm Wishes,
xoxo, Sylvia
