My good moments in meditation, those powerful, peaceful, captivating times when I just AM – silent, absorbed, content, enough – have made me understand the significance of »being«. The magical moments of peace and joy in my soul. Only then can I see the ways of the world as they are. A mere observer, emotionally detached, not allowing myself to get caught in invisible traps. How wonderful it is when we can refrain from comments.
Silence has enormous power. Yet, for the most part, in my view, people are scared of it. So they talk only to break it. Think of times when someone, say the speaker of an event, took the liberty of not saying anything for a minute. Everyone present is startled and starts to look around, instead of leaning into the space, enjoying the moment, and getting prepared for what's coming.
Blissful silence.
