“Silence is the capacity to hear what is within and beyond sound. What is within and beyond what’s spoken. An effortless hearing; a doorway to true listening.” - Sydney Searcwell-Simpson
In this episode of Sacred Pathways, I share an unedited stream-of-consciousness reflection written during a writer’s circle, at a time when I was deeply listening—within and around—for how the Divine wished to move through me. As I responded to a prompt on silence, what emerged was not polished or planned, but a raw and honest meditation on the sacredness of silence as the birthplace of expression, a sanctuary of truth, and a threshold where the formless takes form.
This episode explores:– Silence as a living and generative presence– The tension between self-doubt and the desire to be a channel– The creative power of unfiltered expression– How deep listening prepares us to hear and midwife what wants to be born through us
May this be a mirror and companion on your journey of listening, creating, and becoming 🙏🏽
