Non-Verbal Awe Friday, March 10, 2023

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps. – John Lennon How often do you find yourself answering to the open invitation of nature to step outside and give your full attention to observe, listen, open all of your senses and be filled with awe? Expansive nonverbal language is born between ourselves and our immediate world when we connect with this simple invitation constantly being offered. The tendency is to be distracted and over react with impatient gestures, facial expressions, vocal tones, eye contact, body language and talking loudly with our hands. By being present, you can discover deep observation, deep inspiration and deep experience using nonverbal language. It is an experience you will hold close in your memories and you can recall it whenever you need a sense of awe and calm. There is no need to read between the lines of what you are picking up. It is an instant action and reaction and a full impression of the scene as it is truly being presented wherever you are. Open your arms and take a deep breath. It is already here and available.
