Did you know that the word LISTEN has the same letters as SILENT? In these slower days of summer, when there are vacations from work, school and extra curricular activities, take the time to be silent and listen.
Listen to the song of summer birds, the clicking of crickets, the blowing breezes, the ocean’s tide, the heart’s calling, and the silence. It is rich with gifts for our soul. Take them in and let them nurture you. Listen to the silence—it speaks to who you are.
Listen To The Silence
Stepping outside of our usual lives
Of coming and going and doing
We can step inside to the center of being
Take a moment to find the solace within
Listen to the silence
It speaks volumes
Listen and be still
Listen to the silence
It speaks to who you are
Listen, listen to the silence.
Taking the time to go to our core
We find rich and fertile ground
We can turn inside and touch the soul
Take a moment to find our essence within
Listen to the silence
It speaks volumes
Listen and be still
Listen to the silence
It speaks to who you are
Listen, listen to the silence.
And when we hear the soul’s song
Like the silence of a sunrise
We align ourselves
With a world of wisdom and light
Listen to the silence
It speaks volumes
Listen and be still
Listen to the silence
It speaks to who you are
Listen, listen to the silence.
