LISTENING

I hear you talking
but am I listening.
How often are we in a room with someone
but not present?
How often do I not stop,
and think before I speak?
What if I did?

How much different would
our lives be if were mindful
in our listening and
intentional in our speaking
with others?

Can you hear my feelings
just by the energy
radiating from me?
What if we were present?
What if we listened with our
hearts, minds, and souls?

Just for today,
may we be intentional
about being present
and intentional about
listening and
speaking
and being a channel
for the Divine.
