"It's in the Unspoken Words that we find our Story" - Jeanne-Marie Webb
I love this picture...
It is subtly reflecting the lines around my eye, that are very much there - a clear indication that I am almost 40, but my eye has never looked more focused. Maybe a bit of a prophetic picture for the year I am having so far. But what is also clear to me is no matter what I say or feel about this stage - there is no stopping this!
I spent two weeks thinking about the theme - {unspoken} and what it means to me. It's pretty powerful... the {unspoken} words... So much can happen and be said without words... A gentle smile, kind gestures, a look. As I switched off a little this year and cut myself off a bit from the noise, the chaos and the demands of life. I tried to find my story as I silenced all the voices {screaming out what they thought my story should be}. It's in the quiet place and the {unspoken} words that I have started to discover {me} again. I guess when we are slow to speak and silence the voices, it's where we find the spacious place... to Hear. to Listen. then Respond.
I love the photo and your words about it. I hope I am as gorgeous as you are in heart and body when I am 40! This year I'm turning 30...and that seems BIG! A little scary, but exciting, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth for your beautiful words. You are too kind. 30 is a very special time too. Much changed in me too around that time. I know much is changing in you too and it's a huge time for you too in many regards! Thank you for taking the time to read!
