Today in the car I was listening to an audio when the presenter said, “And maybe you should consider taking a vow of silence about your spiritual practices.” NO!!! I shouted.  To myself. In the car.

I have taken too many vows of silence in other lifetimes. The vow of silence is so ingrained, it feels like a part of my DNA. That said, it is a beloved…most beloved, part.

If you asked me my thoughts about cats or the overdevelopment of land, I would blab your ears off. However, apart from a few subjects that elicit a rant, I prefer silence.

I struggle with this. I struggle with it a lot. It is challenging for me to speak publicly about what matters to me and spiritual subjects, spiritual practices matter. But this is the lifetime where it is my role to speak about them. Loud and proud.

I must speak about them to you.
