NOT...NAMING

When something happens to us, physical or emotional, there is a brief moment before we NAME the experience .... We call it pain, tragic, terrible, shouldn't have happened, betrayal, or all the pleasant ones.

If we PAUSED in that gap ___ in the nameless silence long enough___ the experience might have a chance to introduce itself in its entirety....and It might be something entirely different than the small box we wanted to put it in.
