Softness

Softness

Soft always wins hard. Soft as a whisper. Soft as water. Fluid and permeating as air. Water can soak through the hardest matter and softens it irreplaceably. You cannot divide air or even escape space.

Anger, my favourite topic. Anger is an energy that can be skilfully transformed individually and internally. It can be diverted or changed to its neutral state and transformed into positive, constructive energy and understanding. The vibration tools involved in this transmutation is an open mind and an open heart. Acceptance of the other’s anger and appreciating and understanding its intensity to further transform its spitefulness with kindness and listening is a flow of harmony when one is centred and calm. Watch that anger come and see it go.

Obviously fire can be fought with fire. Fire can be redirected by wind or the gentle words of kindness as in a soft whisper of “… I understand fully, your predicament …” or “I hear what you are saying” (even if it’s pure yelling directed toward a cool, calm and collected individual).

A smile is soft. Soft may seem passive and detached or aloof but it is merely waiting for a more opportune time to offer a peace treaty or a win-win solution.

Soft means harmonising and finding the common ground to blend in and embrace everyone in an all inclusive environment. Soft is not to exclude but include all. Soft is here to stay.

Stay soft, stay calm and detached. Be alert, attentive and watchful of oneself in every here and now of each passing moment.
