I stop speaking if no one is listening.

Ohh you know, maybe the truth is bit to much to handle.....so some will say.....but for me, i think the problem is with the root chakra, which is connected to the throat. Maybe a lot of people feel uprooted or prehaps the roots didnt get enough air, so the air passing threw the throat is just cluttered with feedback from a destablized root, producing insecurties and a wobbly in the voice, which sprang from insecurity/destabliazztion in the root. I may have been to nice to folk in the past, investing time into things relationships, broken dreams etc, but forgetting the best friend behind these eyes is the only one who can hear HU....Hu knows what is best for your divine plan into the light...aloha Bless....In lakech

The main thing I notice is that I'm slow. I've worried about it a lot. I'm always the last to laugh at a joke. The moment has passed by the time I arrive at the appropriate response. Sometimes, it's weeeeelllllll past. time to say something.

I was very worried about this at one time until a teacher told me that some people take in a whole lot of information and think deeply about it. It takes time to process so much information and include all the ramifications and effects of what might be said in response. Then there are those who are very quick witted and think quickly on their feet, but they are very shallow thinkers. I had asked how I could change. The teacher roared at me, "Why would you want to change the way you think???!!"

So I do much better in writing. I have the time to process and say something worthwhile.

I just thought of another thing. I'm completely aware of there being as many interpretations of "truth" as there are humanoids. So I keep my mouth shut. I don't necessarily appreciate others imposing their reality on me, so I don't impose mine on them, either. It's a courtesy I enjoy practicing. I do enjoy another's speaking if it's done as a sharing and letting me look into their universe. If it's a question of what works best for all as opposed to a seemingly selfish option, I will say something in the manner of a question such as, "Have you thought about ...?" I try to demonstrate an open, questioning, nonjudgmental way of being. I don't believe in right and wrong, but only what works best for all concerned.

I speak always if the topic is real. I don't care what others think of me, as their judgments do not indicate my status in reality. Their loss if they shut me out. My loss if I miss an opportunity to share. I am as qualified as any other person. At times the feedback from my remarks is a wonderful growth and learning experience for me. NO MORE SILENCE! We need to wake those still asleep, encourage those who have opened themselves, heal each other in our times of need, and let our lights shine. Humbled and Loud is a wonderful way to express it. Thanks!

Speaking is a bit difficult for me. I'm dyslexic and I get tongue tied. Sometimes I'm searching the word....I can SEE it in my mind but it won't translate into language. Then POP! It's there! But by that time, people are usually staring out the window and forgot about what I started to say.............;-) Forget about talking on the phone!

Maybe that's why I'm a writer. LOL.
