Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you knew there was more to the story being shared but the details weren't being share? Where the silence is deafening and the pauses between words spoken are screaming at you?
This very thing has bean happening to me more often recently. I don't recall it happening near as often before in my life. Does it mean that I'm more intuitive or that I'm simply paying more attention to those around me? The reason I can't explain, but there is no denying that these gaps exist. These days my intuition is strong and it has been bang on (for better or worse!). The fact that my intuition is stronger than it's been in years, is a sign that I am back on the right path. But I digress from the point of today's moment.
Sometimes those you love succumb to fear (don't we all?), but when they stop trusting (themselves or you) they stop believing that there is someone listening, that someone cares. For the record, I will always listen. I will always be there for those I love, no matter how dark, no matter how stormy. I am not here just for the good times. I'm here on a soul journey and that includes being present even in the darkest of days.
So, while I've been struggling with the silence from my loved ones, on my own, for awhile now, I've found patience. I know I can't rush my loved ones. When they are ready to share, I'll ask questions and dive in to support wherever I can.
Today's moment was when my patience paid off as one of my loved ones opened up about something he's been dealing with on his own. The moment itself was a challenge. The timing of the share, the seriousness of the content and worse yet, the inability to discuss further until much later in the day. But dive into it later we did. Now I feel stronger, empowered with knowledge instead of weak with assumptions. I feel in tune and in synch with next steps instead of sidelined waiting for words. I am fully committed to ensuring that my loved one has what he needs to deal with his coming changes. I know he felt relief after sharing. As did I. Trust and belief in loved ones: restored hope. What an incredible, deep, moment for today.
I have another loved one holding back. I send her love and light every day, willing her to open up and share. Patience. PATIENCE. I am here when she is ready to trust. I am here. MY people, my loved ones matter.... so when they struggle, I struggle to find solutions. When they celebrate the rain, I dance and laugh with them. We need not be alone in this life.
Patience and trust and believing.
Moments where words matter. (I suppose that's not fair. Words always matter!)
Moments where people matter. (ditto!)
