~ Listening is a skill ~ Although some seem to be born with it ~ Those who 'hear' well ~ Know more in the moment of sound ~ Than any in the un-round-sound of cacophony manifesting disarray wherever it is heard ~ May the round sound of true listening bless your day ~ And show you the way ~ Slay your dragons ~ But ensure they are yours and not somebody else's in the slaying ~ True listening requires that recognition of the 'noise' or 'sound' or 'true music' makers around you ~ Sometimes in the 'hearing' of true sound we hear angels sing ~ FW -March 1-2016 |
