Listen to my interview by host Venessa Rodriguez for her Feed Your Wild podcast. We cover a LOT of territory.

“…live while you are alive…” ~Ben Okri

Such a simple directive that we often forget.

It is easy to fall into the trap of familiarity, making the same decisions over and over. Whether by default or by deliberately seeking to avoid the unknown, life will be half-lived.

How are you spending your time? Engaged or absent-mindedly? By responding or reacting? Are you living…or existing?

Conversations go well beyond the words that are spoken–especially in difficult communications. The simple definition of a word may get lost in a cloud of connotation.

Remember that each word spoken lands differently depending on the participants’ filters of experience. The resultant effect is often unknown, if even considered.

On their own, words are imperfect tools. As a result, they can be intentional or unintentional weapons and they can be balms. Learn to use and receive them mindfully.

Tweet this: Communication is often distorted through the sieve of personal experience.

Things don’t always work out as expected or hoped for. Regardless of the outcome, there is undoubtedly something to be gained. As long as you remain aware, a deeper truth or lesson emerges from imperfect experiences. It only waits for your discovery and acceptance.

Whatever transpires leaves you different on the other side of it.

We often struggle to find the appropriate response in situations where there seem to be no words.

Perhaps you are rendered speechless because you are supposed to be. Some things are beyond the limitations of spoken language.

It’s not about you being response-ready or you taking the opportunity to try to fix. It’s about acknowledgement and acceptance of the other. To be present is to witness and allow space for their being.

Sometimes, intentional silence is the most powerful gift you can offer.

Tweet this: Presence is a balm.
