Restored through Silence

Aloha Bloggies (formerlly Boardies)... hmm I think I like Boardies better...

I needed to change my luck so I went to Kauai for the weekend. This was a divine gift of inspiration.
Kauai is so visually beautiful but what is most astounding is how quiet it is. I'm actually thinking of relocating and maybe I just need to stay on Oahu so I can enjoy the contrast.
I toured by car and travelled off the beaten path, crossed a one lane bridge and came into a "jungely" area where 2 waterfalls fed into a narrow river. I saw a beautiful Hawaiian man bathing his small child in the river, he looked at me with a beaming smile. I tavelled a little further until the road ended, shut off the car and listened. At that moment I was sitting in the quietest place in the world. I sat. I listened. And in that time of silent listening I became restored. The silence holds all Divinity. That silence is within us. Take the time to sit and listen. Being there is being here is being now... now... now.

I will answer all your posts today.
I love you and it's great to be "HOME".

Rose,
I am glad you had a great time in Kauai. It is a beautiful place.
I am glad you are no longer feeling "yucky" the flu and it's after effects.
Love,T

hi rose-
kauai is beautiful! i feel like the world is seeking silence, but is afraid of it, doesn't realize how important it is. so much noise...technology as fast as it is, carries so much "noise"...i think in the long run will be very unhealthy for us and mother earth. i'm glad you were able to escape that...
