Step Away

There are times when respect needs to be silent.
  Stepping away from the walls of privacy is necessary.

Powerful emotions ask for hesitation
 Only to be shared in safety and trust
  Step away respecting the depth of emotion, be silent.

Staying separate, yet close
 Allows safety and trust to build.

“Perhaps it is possible to discover more in silence than in speech. 

Or perhaps it is only that those who are silent among us learn to listen.”

~ Alice Hoffman, The Dovekeepers
