The dance between expression and silence

There’s a dance. First: express, express, express. Purge what’s at the surface. What I already know I’m feeling. This is what I think about that situation. This is what I’m feeling towards that person. Get it out.

Because getting out what I already know creates space. Space for sitting with the unknown.

And in that silence — as I check in inside — something new starts to form. Something that hasn’t yet been given its expression. That only comes through the ability to just be with the unknown, in the quiet.

Then the newness can come out.

It’s not really about silence versus expression. It’s about expression first — so that the silence that follows has something to birth. And then that new thing, when it emerges, is something that hasn’t yet been in this world. Hasn’t yet been given its expression.

That’s the part I love most about this work. What comes out in the second half of the practice — after the purging — is always something I didn’t know was there.
