Shhh… Listen

When we slow down, stop talking, and just listen, good things happen.  We get in touch with what is around us.  We find out who other people are.  What their hopes and dreams look like.  We open ourselves to the larger experience around us.  And, sometimes, we can hear the still, small voice inside of us that guides us to healing and growth.  It is more comfortable to be active and expressive but it is often more helpful to be quiet and listen.

Am I talking my way through life?  What would happen if I stopped and opened myself up to all that is around and inside of me?  What gifts await me if I am quiet and listen?
