*Shhh, Just listen*

Listen to me well... my heart's secrets have no sound.

Listen to me well... my fears are all around.

Listen to me well... teach me I can trust

Listen to me well...

If you care for me, you must.

Listening Well.  This doesn't only mean to hear what is said, but also to "hear" what is behind the expression.  Body language, tone of voice, posture, personal background... all play a part in our communication skills. Listening well means to hear the messages of our hearts... and to learn to act on the most appropriate of those messages.

There are times when, making decisions in my own best interests, other's feelings may be hurt. They may perceive some personal harm from my self-protecting decisions.  They may fail to see that my decisions are not only protective of me, but also protective of them.  There isn't much I can do about that... I can but express my decisions clearly and concisely.  I can listen to others, but my decisions and choices  must come from my own heart.

*May you abide within your Garden Heart... may all your decisions be illuminated by heartshine*
