We are all connected by the silence
and our imagination.
Just sitting in the stillness,
emptying ourselves of all concerns,
thoughts, emotions
by being aware of them 
without being attached to them,
in a "that, too, that, too" kind of way,
allows our imagination to come to life
in the silence
and lead the way to communion with,
and participation in,
"the other side of silence,"
which is astir with all
that needs our attention.

Our place is to be open
to what is called for,
beckoning to us,
calling our name--
to be available without intention
or purpose
and see what appears/emerges/occurs to us,
and where it goes.

Conversations within and around the circle
can happen in this way,
and we find we are never alone
in the silence,
and are able to find exactly what we need
to face what must be faced,
to bear what must be borne
and to do what needs to be done
in the here/now
of each situation as it arises
throughout the day
and all the circumstances 
that come about
in the time left for living.

It is like having access to the Elder Wand,
and to discover that we ARE the Elder Wand
in disguise,
hidden away,
waiting for the appropriate moment
to step forth
and be what is needed here/now
to our amazement,
yet again.
