Resisting Engagement

"When you connect to the silence within you,

that is when you can make sense of the disturbance

going on around you."

Stephen Richards

Over the years, I have learned how drama unnecessarily clutters our lives with additional anxiety, judgment, and chaos.  Intentionally, I have eliminated participation in situations where drama was most likely to unfold. 

When caught off guard in unpredictable overly emotional experiences, I would discreetly bow out of participation.  The results of weeding out drama or resisting engagement, has brought me longer periods of silence and fewer emotional roller coaster rides.

Within the safety of my silence, I do not withdraw from reality, but observe it to learn the lessons that are being played out.  Without judgment nor investment, an understanding can be gained, creating an intention to counter balance negative energy.  Discarding filters and minimizing fear, I create a sense of safety for peaceful living.

Cocoon Of Silence

"When you connect to the silence within you,

disturbance going on around you."

I will not choose to live in oblivion, nor will I be pulled into mass hysteria.  Although emotional and sensitive, I attempt to stay only in the moment as an observer.  When I do not personalize what is occurring around me, my perception is broader without filters creating some sense of clarity.

I exit my reveries and slide into my heart where I can just feel.  The growing fear in the world enters and exits without pulling me with it.   In the shelter of my heart I can use my energy to create a powerful light to shine out into the world.

As my vibration heightens, I ask Divine Spirit to carry my light wherever it is needed.  It may be spread across countries, forests, communities or families.  My energy flows as I remain in a cocoon of silence.
