We each have a gentle voice which belongs to us, which we can share with each other. And we each have a gentle voice which speaks in our minds, which comes from our heart. It is sometimes called the still small voice.

When you hear it you recognize it. It brings you peace and helps to guide your way.

Where else do you find a gentle voice? How precious is it to you? Even silence is a gentle voice.

I don't know why I am writing these words, but this is a place for writing words. I would like to hear more gentle, peaceful, accepting, forgiving, liberating, releasing, soul-freeing sounds in this world. I know I am not alone.

It may be that we can share these sounds more often, everyday. If we listen to our souls. If we listen to each other.

It may be that we can wake up to a kinder, gentler world in this moment. It is always a choice. It is always a way.

Is it possible for us to see the immense strength in gentle ways? We want to be strong. Is it possible for us to feel our strength from gentle hearts?

I can laugh, I can cry, I can be angry. But do I need to lose my gentleness, even so? If it is a part of me that comes from the great depths of my soul, can I simply rest in it, from that deep source of strength, for all the days of my life?

Where else, what else, could be better than to sit on a rock by the sea in the sun?
