"Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure."
Brene Brown
A discussion was unfolding and there was a need to follow each person's reveal. Numerous thoughts were well documented when mentioned, and interest maintained by curiosity. While intently listening, eclectic responses were being held captive inside, hidden. Feelings were triggered, challenging the current belief system.
While holding the tongue, a person can feel either sucked in to the energy or pulled back into the shadows. The voice can be used in either agreement or difference of opinion. The question is how much does one want to reveal or invest? How much exposure is one willing to risk?
Private thoughts, perhaps, are the key. Observe if there is alignment or division and why? The mind needs to be open, not boarded up like an old building. Allow movement of fresh thought to decipher what stays or what is to be removed. Respect what is held true but be willing to shift in understanding through the element of exposure.
