in SILENCE...I DO SPEAK
Your heart reached out and I intensely listened in as you vented about your concerns, future goals and desires. Being there, just a listening ear…I connected with you and helped to fine tune all that was unclear.
I was your shoulder to lean on, giving confirmation to your heart and SOUL, touching ur spirit in a way that reassured you that, you are not ALONE. I have often been, in your “SHOES” so that makes me relatable, HELL, that makes me your “SOLE”-MATE TOO. You have entrusted me with the contents of your heart and confident that I am HERE, and that what U share STAYS HERE. You were comforted by me investing of MY time in YOUR time of need, because TOO MANY TIMES lofty words fall on deaf ears when indeed words weren’t meant to be. Unspoken volumes have been spoken without uttering a word. When u are down and feeling weak, I have learned that SOMETIMES I am STRONGEST, for when in SILENCE, I DO SPEAK.

We have a tendency to try n give advice “every single” time someone speaks their heart. SOMETIMES…just LISTENING can be more comforting than ALWAYS spewing out advice or information. I have learned this, because I too have been guilty of this at times. If U can’t find words to say, maybe it’s because “words” are not meant to be spoken at that time! While your trying to “think” of the most befitting thing to “say”, you maybe missing all that the person is expressing b/c your pre-occupied with trying to say something profound…what’s profound is the ability to “listen” and STILL convey something profound to the person by being there and showing the person you care. Investing your time can be just as therapeutic as saying the right things, but AT THE RIGHT TIME!
