Today has been a quiet day, not by choice so much, at least not the conscious side of life. Sometimes we have days when we get so overwhelmed with the inner chatter filling our head with so many streams of to-do’s that its a wonder we get anything done.
Yes, I’ve accomplished a few things today, but for some reason I have allowed the chatter to continue.
On a side note, I’m glad this is August, the weather is warm enough to leave the patio door open, and its a relatively quiet afternoon. Except for one thing: every now and then I hear this huge voice just outside the open door. It is my alpha hummingbird, talking so loudly I can hear him across the room. As I walk around the corner to confirm the source of the chatter I see him perched on the butterfly bush that I keep as dense as possible to allow them a safe perch.
As I type he chatters again. Over the past two years I have come to understand how vocal these tiny birds can be. He continues to remind me to clear away the chatter. Yes, sir!
Chatter pulls us from the present moment, dragging us from the clarity and simplicity. It consumes our attention and haunts us like a phantom presence. Life is never as complicated as the chatter tells us it is. Clear away the chatter, it never serves your higher self. Chatter never solves a problem, in fact we all know it compounds any situation that may exist.
How do we clear the chatter? It is not so much letting go, it is making a choice. The chatter is filled with misdirection and misunderstandings, things that do not help you in this moment. Clear away the chatter and your purpose and direction will be clear. Clear away the chatter and your steps will be lighter.
