how often is silence the thing you desire most but so rarely get to enjoy?
or silence is the thing you get when you are looking for responses?
do either of those sound familiar?
well i've asked around, it seems that this is the normal response.
those are the two (of many) struggles in life.
but simple enough that we could change it. right?!
so i got to thinking...
(while waiting for answers of my own and craving some quiet)
some me time to think, to reflect, to find answers in the back of my mind.
and waiting for someone else's words, after deafening silence.
these two pit falls of life.
i got to thinking about something we should really try,
and how to work it into our everyday lives.
a new mantra...
listen, explain, repeat, absorb.
sing it to yourself, in the tune of lather, rinse, repeat, as needed.
just say it over and over and then again one more time.
how hard are we making life by sitting there and not communicating?
how simple could life be, if we spoke.
talking, speaking, listening, not listening...
concepts so far from rational,
concepts we so often don't remember.
seems silence is more comforting and convenient for all parties involved
but, we are no dummies - we know silence gets us no where!
NOW, i'm breaking the chain... please give in - help a gal out.
SPEAK WITH ME!
so, are you lost in translation?
how long have you been there, what did you do to get out?
how effective are you as a communicator?
are these positions like a foreign language to you?
