The Call 6: The Noise

"The noise that has come between me and being fully alive"...

Boy do I know what noise Oriah is talking about here. And you know it too. The noise of everyday life... people talking, cars going by, TV, music, and the ever present noise that goes on in my head.

These all come inbetween me and my being fully alive! And you too!

What can we do about them? Well yes, it is true that they are a part of being fully alive... I can hear you thinking that. But what can be accomplished if we remove ourselves from all that noise for just a few moments each day?

We can be more fully present!

What does that mean? It means that as we drive down the street we are more aware of our surroundings... we see the buds on the trees trying to come to life, we see the person next to us in traffic. Here in Delaware I see plastic bags blown around and stuck in trees on every road I drive on... it makes me sad.

Being more fully present means actually listening when someone is talking to us. It means looking at their face and engaging in the sharing of communication.

It means BEING THERE FOR YOURSELF! Knowing forever that you have enough, are enough and can even give some of it away...

Learn to recognize the "noise that has come between you and being fully alive" and your world will change.
