- I am in a silent retreat, reflecting, listening and sorting my next step
- I am p***** off and prefer not to speak.
Normally and ninety five percent of the times, I will tell you exactly how I
am feeling. I am a talker and will not go to my bed without ‘sharing’ my
feelings. I laugh as I recall how annoyed a former long-term, live-in partner
was after my need to talk escalated during my chaplaincy training!
Hypocrisy is not my modus operandi.
When a situation calls for diplomacy – my vocabulary is wide
and deep enough to find the words to express myself in a manner appropriate to
said situation. Other times my vernacular sinks to the gutter – forgive me, I
worked in the federal correctional system – and I can swear like any sailor.
As I numerically mature, silence is fast becoming my
preferred option.
Several attempts will be made to communicate to a person how
I feel. Depending on who it is and how much I care for them – I will fervently
pray that they get it the first time. However, there are those who are so
caught up with their own self-importance that they cannot imagine that you
would feel other than they do.
In those cases, silence is my weapon of choice.
Maybe I ought not to say this but I am just a plain “sinner”
and unashamed of it. I live MY life according to my and the Spirit that guides
me rules. End of. Took me years to come to this but am I ever glad that I did! So I hardly have need to be hypocritical with others and worse yet with myself.
What about you?
