When we feel stuck, overwhelmed by choices, surrounded by noise... it helps to remember how wisdom speaks. Mind speaks with language and thoughts. Wisdom speaks with resonance and knowing. This is why whenever I want to make business choices, find solutions, see into what my business wants from me—like a farmer walking their Wisdom farm looking for what needs tending—I step away from my desk and build my Wisdom Well. It seems crazy to take time from a busy day, but intentionally feeling into the choices, sensing the "click" or "block," the open flow or the uncomfortable resistance, is key. Being loving to our inner obstacles, fears, and reluctance. Being open to new seeing and being. Then feeling: how does love want to move today, to serve my business so that it serves others? Then we do that sacred, ordinary work.

What's your most memorable or significant lifetime intuition or insight?

A Wisdom Well sitting this morning on the crocodile river overlooking the Kruger National Park… Mind: I wonder if I’ll see elephants again here today. If a honey badger arrives, will I run to tell the family or phone them? Then I paused for a moment, took a breath, remembering how much we lose when all we are tuned into thought streams. I asked with the intention to discover. Mind: How does wisdom experience this scene? Wisdom: First is silence. Rest in the silence beneath, the silence that carries the gentle river sounds, the silence holding the bird songs. Wisdom: Mind speaks with thoughts. Reality speaks with true seeing and true being. It speaks as silence and resonance. Mind: How can we learn the language of reality? Wisdom: You don’t learn, you remember. It is your original and only true language. First, intend to sense and know the silence. Feel the silence of it all. Feel with your whole being, as if your skin knows this silence, as if your body can sense the silence beneath the sounds of the bird calls, the breeze, the river flowing. Tune in with your body to feel the silence. Don’t wait for the mind. Let thoughts continue as they will. Be more interested in the felt silence. Your body knows this, your soul knows this, because all life knows its home. With silence as base, then tune in to life as songs of resonance. Tune in to the felt resonance song of the space, as if you sense the air, the openness around and within. Tune in to the resonance song of the river, the way it feels, letting yourself know. The surface and appearance is the noise of the mind thought streams. Human habit is to lock attention on surface mind and take that as reality. All the while, just beneath, the very fabric of reality waits for discovery. Reality sings as silence and the resonance of knowing. The soul doesn’t speak English. The soul speaks in the true language of silence and resonance. Learning the language of reality, of the soul and the true self is how you free beings—because you return people to remembering how to commune with life directly.
