Today was a day of silence. I hadn't planned this day. As I cleaned, read, ate and rested, the silence lovingly swam around me. In fact, it felt so good that I recognized it for what it was.....a gift, and then spent the rest of the day revealing in it. And then more purposefully continued it.
What went with the silence was another gift. A silent mind. Usually my mind is flying from one topic to the next. It just won't shut down. It's like a tape recorder in your mind where someone keeps pushing the rewind and play button. But for today, my mind more or less stayed on what it was doing.
I know that this kind of a day can happen more often if I cultivate the habit. But sometimes these days just are given to us as a gift. I am so glad that I unwrapped it!
When was the last day you had a day of silence?
