Listen with your whole heart.
Listen with joy, with attention. Listen.
Listen between the words.
Listen to the yearning I placed in your heart, listen.

Listen to me, your God.
Listen to the whisper of love in your heart.
Listen to others.
Listen carefully.

Listen without judging.
Listen without supposing
you already know, listen.
Listen without any expectations.
Just listen to me, your God
to others
to yourself.

Listen not to get an answer.
Listen to heal.
Listen not to know.
Listen to reveal.
Listen not to question.
Listen to understand.
Listen not to deny.
Listen to accept
and support.
Listen not as you wish.
Listen as it is.

Listen deeply to my voice
In your life
in your heart
and in others.
