Quiet Dimension




"I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and
learn from it.  It has a quality and dimension all of its own."
Chaim Potok
THE CHOSEN

The mind needs to be decluttered just as one would unpack a suitcase.  The intention being to empty it, we can stack thoughts on different piles to be revisited at a later time.  Some items can be cleansed or totally discarded.

It is in silence when we can hear our heart speak.  When we can be still, wisdom or sacred thought surfaces.  To quietly listen with an open mind, we can begin to receive. 

As we are in our silent space, the message sent to us may arrive as a sense of peace or calm.  Too often we expect words when there are other ways to connect.  Be still, and allow attention to come to us.  We will attract and receive when we release  intentions and expectations.

Eternal Home





"I've begun to realize that you can listen
to the silence and learn from it.  It has a
quality and a dimension all its own."
Chaim Potok


I walked through the garden gate, immediately surrounded by fragrances lofting in a gentle breeze.  I settled on my favorite bench and sat until all became still.  Peace at last, worries evaporating, and all stress falling away.

As I opened my eyes, I began to glimpse the singing birds and feel the sun shining upon my face.  The warmth melted into my body allowing me to feel perfectly safe.  I could hear the little critters scurrying beneath my feet, reminding me this was their home.

I open my heart to the words hidden in silence, as they are like fragrant flowers with delicate petals,' Each one must be held tenderly, without danger of harm. I fill my body with each breath, wishing this dimension were my eternal home.
