WHAT IS IT TO LISTEN?
To listen to the deeper impulses that rise up from ‘within‘.
The impulses that suggest ‘this way‘, instead of ‘that‘ … The impulses that have you open ‘this door‘ as supposed to ‘that door‘ … The impulses that voice ‘no‘, when ‘yes‘ appears to be the expectation … The impulses that have you pause in the space of not knowing, until the feeling of yes-ness arises in its own time.
To listen, without forcing a certain outcome.
To listen, without thinking that you (as in ‘little’ you) know best.
To listen, without overruling what is clear, fiercely smashing your way through anyway.
Often – so often – we look to another for the answers …….. Either that, or we reason everything out until it is bone dry with over-thinking.
Quivering at the precipice of decision. Afraid that we might trip up, that we might go the ‘wrong way‘. At some moment, we (many) conclude it ‘better‘ to barricade over the clear flowing ‘yes’s‘, plumping instead for decisions based on what we think is the agreed upon expectation. Undermining our Selves, placing all trust somewhere other then here, by-passing freedom in exchange for a falsely perceived security.
Parking our gut feelings, dismissing our heart knowings, it is as though we have forgotten. Forgotten, our inherent trustworthiness. Forgotten, the loving and wise impulses that arise from ‘within‘. Forgotten, that we are forever safe, in the deep honesty of Now.
At times clear as a bell, inspiring your Being on and on. At times a quiet whisper, a simple loving movement towards………
Let go of what you think it ‘should‘ look like, and begin again to trust the gentle nudges that love you so dearly.
Brave enough to pause, resting in to the space of not knowing.
Lingering in the question mark, longer then feels comfortable.
Pausing, and trusting what lights you up.
With keener commitment, are you willing to LISTEN ?
