The Edge of Silence
“When you don’t know what to offer ~ offer presence.”
A 3am call to sit beside her father in his final days.
Water teaches
Presence is the most powerful medicine. Sometimes the most healing thing we can offer is simply to stay ~ to hold the threshold, witness the crossing, and let the silence say what words cannot.
Reflection
- Where in your life is someone or something asking not to be fixed ~ but simply to be witnessed?
- What would it mean to offer your full presence ~ without agenda, without fixing ~ just staying?
This teaching closes Passage Twelve of Surrender to Self, a lyric memoir in thirteen passages by Amal Lana.
