Spirit Speaks – What Makes You Tremble?

I had a conversation with some friends about what makes a person tremble, and in particular, what made each of us in the group tremble.

The words that first came up were:

• cold
• fear
• anger
• grief
• excitement
• exhaustion
• a hard run (which to me seems like exhaustion but which my friends agreed was different)
• awe

We moved on to the physical things that make us tremble like:

• earthquakes
• thunderstorms
• storms
• hurricanes
• typhoons

And then we moved to the intrinsic things that make us tremble.

• the sound of certain music that raises you outside yourself
• seeing an animal being born
• seeing the majesty of the sky at certain times of the year
• something deeply spiritual
• sudden kindness from a stranger
• the trust of a baby – human or animal

We had so much fun with this.  What I needed to remember was that each of these items seemed to be a force of Nature interacting with us.

What would you add to this list?

Blessings,
