The Edge of Silence
“When you don’t know what to offer ~ offer presence.”
Pulled back to her father’s side, without a phone call, for his last ten days.
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.
- 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?

Presence is the most powerful medicine.
Sometimes the most healing thing is simply ~ to stay.
Let the silence say what words cannot.
We are not as separate as we appear.
There are moments in a life when Spirit does not ask permission. It simply moves you.
Because that is what love does when it has been long enough in the school of water ~ it stops waiting to be whole before it gives itself.
This teaching closes Passage Twelve of The Well Being of Water: Surrender to Self, a lyric memoir in thirteen passages by Amal Lana.
