In a world full of sounds it is sometimes hard to listen.  Choosing to get quiet and listen is a decision that we make.  I sometimes what it must be like for someone who is not able to hear.  Is it more quiet in their head or is their inner voice or critic just as loud as mine?  Do their eyes keep the narrative going rapidly?  We are blessed to be able to hear so many things, both with our eyes and our ears.  However, it is our capacity to not only hear but listen, that distinguishes the experience from merely a physical one.  We listen with our ears, our hearts, our minds, our eyes, our presence, and our spirit.  When the sounds of the world are causing my ears to be overwhelmed, I am less open to listening with my heart and my spirit.  It takes discipline to pause and connect with what my heart is hearing and what my spirit longs to listen to.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to listening with our spirit.  The spirit that whispers of our highest good.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
