Just Listen
Listen to the silence.
Open to the magic that surrounds you.
Listen with senses wide open to greet the moment.
Allow each instant to fill you with awe.
Listen to the breeze as it dances through the trees.
Feel the touch of its cool loving caress.
Listen to the flowers as they greet you with their grace.
Let their glory amaze you with the miracle of life.
Listen to the birds as they call to each other.
Let their melodies fill you with joy.
Listen to the ground as it meets your footsteps
Each step connecting you to Mother Earth.
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Beating in harmony with the miracle of the moment.
Slow down. Let go.
Listen to the silence.
From that silence.
Everything comes.
