DAY 37
Dear stillness,
when I was a child, I loved going into the forest and just listening to the sounds of nature. I would often sit on a swing and close my eyes and feel the wind on my face and do nothing else.
But the older I got and the more it was drummed into me that I shouldn’t waste my life doing nothing, the less I had time to do it, until at some point I didn’t do it at all.
And then I distracted myself with music, movies and TV-series, although I was really only ever looking for that feeling back then on the swing.
I’ve always loved silence; I’ve never been afraid of it like other people around me did. On the contrary, I always found it awful when I was working somewhere with the radio on all the time. It was so exhausting to endure the constant music bombardment and the endless chatter.
Even when I worked in the wellness area in Türkiye, music had to be on all the time. But here I even used a trick more unconsciously at the time by convincing the owner that it would be important to turn on relaxing music to create a better atmosphere. I gave him my favorite cd and he finally agreed and from then on, I listened to nature sounds with piano melodies all day long. And although this job was very stressful, this music always calmed me down when I consciously listened to the sound of the sea or the babbling of a stream.
Yes, I have always been magically attracted to water – after all, I’m also a Cancer, maybe that’s why.
Today I realized that silence is something very special.
It’s not for nothing that we have this saying in Germany:
„In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft.“
literally translated (word for word) ”In the rest lies the power.”
And I was always convinced that rest meant a short pause in the action, i.e. letting the physical body rest in order to recharge its batteries.
But today I understood that “Ruhe” doesn’t mean that, because that word is also used in German to say that there is a place where no noise can be heard.
And that is the true meaning of this statement:
In the silence is the strength.
And to finally put this back into my life, it’s time for me to start practicing it every day again.
I will simply take this time now, just sit and listen to the silence every single day.
And I realize as I write these lines that I’m really looking forward to it.
Thank you my guides, all the light beings around me und Papa that you showed me, what I have to do from now on.
Thank you, Papa, for this opportunity, I love you.
