The Vital Connection

Many people feel isolated, disconnected and lonely.

We want to be heard and understood and we look to others to do that. That's misdirected.

It's critical that we listen to and understand ourselves. That's where the connection comes in first, with ourselves. Plus, that's the only part we control, listening to and understanding ourselves.

The way we do this is through quiet meditation, stillness, reflection and self-exploration of our feelings. Yet, what do most of us run from? We run from feeling our feelings and reflecting on ourselves - in short, quiet.

This is all evidenced by our fascination with talking, reading and watching shows about other people and their lives. Anything to avoid our own lives and our own pain.

Quiet is one of those things that can only be experienced. We can read about it, talk about it, or watch others experiencing it as much as we want. But, until we live it, we don't truly know what it is.

So, stop reading this. Go and be. Quiet. Without distraction.
