I completely lost my voice recently. It wasn't from illness and it happened literally in a matter of hours!
I had never lost my voice in my life. Not once.
This is a completely new experience for me and at first, I was really baffled by it all. I tried different remedies and concoctions and nothing and I mean NOTHING worked.
I had no choice but to be quiet and still. The more I moved about, tried to talk or go about things as "normal", my throat would cause me to have coughing attacks. This FORCED me to be QUIET and STILL.
The more I slowed down, the better things got. Just today, I've started to regain a small bit of sound, but still nothing significant.
During all this QUIET STILLNESS, I've come to realize and appreciate the importance of LISTENING. As an active person, I'm always on the go and being idle isn't really me.
The past several days have been quite eye-opening. I knew 2024 was a period of foundation-shifting for me, on every level, but I wasn't quite sure how to go about it - until recently.
In order to figure that out, I had to LISTEN to LEARN (as the quote from Thomas Jefferson says). I couldn't "HEAR" with all my own background noise.
I love how the universe works :)
