Beautifully written Michele, especially about the silence. Like everything else in the universe, it is the opposite to what we think is required.
We go out searching everywhere for that happiness, inquiring everywhere, and all the time it has been patiently waiting within.
Yes, that is required so that when we ‘hear’ that silence we will appreciate it all the more when we finally discover where it has always been ❤

Thank you so much, Mark 😉 I always learn so much just being in silence and hearing what it’s saying. That happiness is right there inside of us, and once you tap into it a warm feeling comes over you. It’s a wonderful way to connect to the “everything.”

Whole body listening is something my kids were taught in kindergarten. I think a lot of adults could benefit from this teaching too!

That’s wonderful your kids were taught that in kindergarten, Elysha. More schools should do that then maybe as adults we wouldn’t have to struggle so much.

Sometimes when we are not happy with who we are, we use noise to drown out the silence of our truth. When we are brave enough to face the silence, it is then we start to truly live. In silence lies contentment. Great post, Michele!
