I need something between silence and speaking … I speak before I should … what is a good failsafe way other than a muzzle, to think about the consequences before I open my mouth? I am asking sincerely. Can you help me, Mel?
Jan, I see in your writing a heart that has had the opportunity to experience silence. It may be just a millisecond, to quick for you to notice, but there. Just become aware of that silence and expand on it. Thank you for visiting.
Have you tried Silent Saturdays… or any variation of it yet? While I would love to go on a full on vow of silence, to many people need my words right now. But Silent Saturdays have always been great for me…. I learn more in one day by keeping my mouth shut than I do the rest of the week…. A real treat!
My mornings are the time for silence. It is at this time that my heart speaks. A time when there is no separation of that which I think I am and that which I am. When the flow of life is felt throughout my being. The thoughts are of gratitude, joy and wonder at the magnificent that is life. One full day maybe more that I could handle. Thank daodeqi for commenting.
Thank you Nessa, my verse are for those who feel that they don’t have enough time. Hopefully in its shortness there may be a spark to ignite a desire to live life more fully. Thank you for visiting and commenting.
Life, more than existence! 
I do agree with this. That’s the time to contemplate the important stuffs and the appropriate actions to elucidate later on.
