Better, I think 2 months ago

I’ve definitely been creating more space and peaceful non-talkingness in my life :) It feels good… but I don’t know how much I’m really open to listening to the woes of others right now either – I’m in a fairly nutral zone of not bogging people down with my stuff, but not really going out of my way to get people to open up either…

It sounds so simple, but ….



The more stressed 7 months ago

The worse I do at this… it’s been really bad the last few weeks. I need to shut up!

The bliss of silence 8 months ago

I was a quiet child. Didn’t speak, then I was a chatterbox for several years of being heard but not listened to. Now I am finding comfort in embracing being quiet again. The world is such a better place for me when I don’t say much. All I need is a hands on activity.



oh dear... 9 months ago

Losing the calm balance I had going for a while. I’m in a bit of a tizzy and need to BREATHE and absorb into a more central core again. Time to SHUT UP until I can be sure I’m coming from a meditive clarity in my speach and in my being :)



Felt good 9 months ago

To push others to talk in class but hold back some myself :)



With everyone I care about 9 months ago

I tend to end up steamrollering through the silence, sharing, but also filling it with my own voice so they can’t get in a word, or share what matters to them. I’ll have more fullfilling loved filled relationships if I can learn to settle into the silence and leave space for them to open up. So, SHUT UP ALREADY!

It seems as though the people that are the most well-liked are those that are genuinely interested in others. I need to practice this skill (and make no mistake, it is a skill!).

Untitled 9 months ago

I’ve been a really quiet person all my life, and although people keep saying I’m too quiet, I really do enjoy it. I experience alot more personally when I’m observing rather then be a part of everything. I’m able to appreciate stuff alot more.

My friends say I’m very trustworthy because of this.
