I have long considered this so - we have become deafened by, and to, noisy delivery no matter how fine its intention. . . When the call to compassion comes in hushed tones and on quiet wings, we lean in to listen. And what we hear is an invitation to a different way of being in the world, engaging with our current issues, rewriting the script. The truth is not outside. The truth is within and it behoves us to quieten down in order to more effectively align ourselves with it. Deep silence is deep listening. And yes, as Timothy says, love is all. <br />Love in all, too. <br />C xoClaire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-87018859804749017602011-09-15T03:34:12.411+12:002011-09-15T03:34:12.411+12:00Watching as little as possible of the anniversary ...Watching as little as possible of the anniversary coverage on tv, finding it tended to re-traumatize and inflame, I realized that we cannot trust being led to wisdom by politicians, experts, those to whom we once looked for answers. Our truth is where it has always been, within. Stepping away from what seems to be popular thought, but which may only be loud, interior states of deep silence and contemplation tell us so much more about humane responses to life, really, just being life. Tragic, disturbing events small and enormous are a part of it and, as Timothy writes, love is the hope...the only hope.Marylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-45576333273662653142011-09-14T09:07:07.250+12:002011-09-14T09:07:07.250+12:00Hi Elisabeth - we and others are occupied by many ...Hi Elisabeth - we and others are occupied by many and various things these days. All is as it is. I am always lifted by your visits - thank you for popping in and for leaving this message. <br /><br />Perhaps it's when going deeper also means going higher that we have a chance of finding the gold that's buried in the lead which in turn leads us towards greater understanding? <br /><br />Wishing you clarity of thought and inspiration as you bring your thesis to completion, Elisabeth. I have no doubt it will be an exceptional work.
