Silence

Make the time

The more I live the more I understand what I like and what I don’t and well I must say it’s liberating to know the difference. What I do like is silence.

Growing up I was a latch-key kid living as the only child in my household. I always felt the need to have the tv on to keep the apartment from being so damn silent. I wanted to feel like I wasn’t alone and adding the noise of a television seem to give me that feeling that I was surrounded by life. If it wasn’t the tv then it was the radio but something had to be going or else the mood just wasn’t right.

I guess it took a whole lot of unwanted noise throughout my life to understand the true meaning of silence and what it means for one’s peace of mind. Now I enjoy every moment of silence I can find as if it were something to be cherished..and it is. I am never bored, with every moment I find something to do,think or write. But in silence is where I find ME waiting patiently to be heard.

Quiet the world, you deserve to be heard by YOU.

LIFE

Enjoy LIFE

Believe it or not YOU are not the reason to live. The “Why” to live is beyond anything you can imagine. The simplest way to explain this premise is God not only dwells within but You in fact are God. Every act of kindness that emanates from a place of love is God working.

What happens when you water a plant consistently or when you nurture a child or relationship giving endless love and attention? Ask yourself, how can I help and serve another and then watch the God in you grow and expand beyond even your own comprehension. Therein will be every reason, not to just exist but to truly live.
