What energy could I contribute here?

Do you find sometimes, no matter how kind your heart, good your intentions, qualified your expertise, or extensive your experience, some people, animals and situations simply won't let you in? They can't, won't or don't want to hear, not even if you ask a question and sit listening patiently? What if there were another way? What if you could still be an amazing contribution, with your mouth completely shut? Animals show us that communication is so much more than the blah blah coming out of our mouths. Birds fly in formation, interchanging lead to give each other a break. Elephants run for the hills well before a tsunami hits. And bees, yes we all know the amazing bees. So next time you think you'd like to help, before you open your mouth ask “What energy could I contribute here?” What if contributing the energy of space and allowance were greater than anything that came out of your mouth?
