That's my life .. Beginning from childhood as I was the middle child and always in the "middle" of "things happening around me. So, I learned first by listening,observing, and carefully offering my take on immediate circumstances. I grew up as a quiet child, appearing shy, but knew where I stood and others around me.
Clarity is a quiet strength learned by listening and observing. Being ‘in the middle’ often forges discernment. Steadiness of soul cannot be taken from you.
Been pondering this one since you wrote it and trying to be much more aware of how and when I speak, being sensitive to my hearers. It is so easy to just blabber on without seriously considering the souls of the people hearing my words. I must be slow to speak and quick to listen. Thank you for continuing to share your deep wisdom!
