Morning everybody! Guess I'll start up a new one post here...
"What are we? A hank of hair and a piece of bone? A few cents worth of minerals? Or are we each a song? A unique chord struck deliberately to add to infinate harmony of the unverse?
Many of us would like to agree with the last definition, but we dare not. We are sure that we are out of tune because too many of our notes are flat. We don't listen because we're afraid of what we might hear. We're certain we wouldn't like it.
The consequence is that we would rather do almost anything than be quiet and listen. We work too much, talk too much- anything so we won't have to listen.
But the hymn of the universe goes on whether we're listening or not. So we might as well tune in. Perhaps our spirits will be soothed enough to let our heads entertain some new ideas like "I'm not so bad. My note is a good sound"
With practice, we can become very good at becoming still & listening. And in stillness, we can understand that the hymn wouldn't be the same without our notes."
Today I pray for the courage to listen...:l ....Judie
