10 Nuggets of truth #2

The Heart of Listening
PictureSeraphinite - Gemstone nugget.
Tread softly and listen closely amidst the din of life. Please shut up for a moment and listen as others may seek to tell you of their joy and pain. Look beyond words and see the burden they might bear. I recently took the time to listen closely to someone and heard for the first time what she has tried to communicate for years. I suddenly connected with what I was afraid to hear - Her pain and suffering at the hands of abusers. I struggled to find words of comfort, but finally gave us both over to The Great Comforter who looks beyond our faults and sees our need.
Listen to the words below from my heart to yours
- Zpora

Listen to hands and eyes, smiles and tears 
Read the messages written there

Listen to your loved ones - accept the love they are giving
Listen to your student - as they tell you how they learn
Listen to your children -  see if they are hurting.
Listen to the abuser - offer the help for which they yearn.  
Listen to screams of anger -seek and find the seat of discontent.
Listen to your heartbeat, the wind, - the rhythm of the falling rain
Listen to your spirit - Therein lies discernment and enlightenment
 
Listen with your third ear pressed against heaven’s window pane
As you seek  to manage humanity’s earthly pain.
