Featuring Gary Earl Ross, Nation, and VocalEssence
“Thank you for your service.”
“I’m sorry for your loss.”
We fill the empty space because
we are the ones
who are uncomfortable
with silence.
Sometimes there just are
no words
that can ever
comfort or take away
an indescribable pain.
Deep listening.
More often than not,
a person just needs someone to let them
sort through their story out loud.
Things that run rampant in our minds
often sound different when spoken.
People will end up gaining new insights
on their own.
Sit.
It’s not your job to fix.
Just listen.
No words necessary.
Presence.
Get comfortable in the silent spaces.
It can be so difficult, especially in spaces of conflict, to not want to FIX and ALLEVIATE if not ELIMINATE SUFFERING.
