In the silence that is never quite silent,
I listen.
Not with the intent to “hear” anything
or “get” anything
or “achieve” anything
but just for the sake of listening.
It takes a little while for the path to unfold,
and then I see
the path is inviting and it is endless.
My ears relax
the filters dissolve
the inner chatter stops
and I feel a sensation in my heart
that I’ve never felt before.
My heart is actively sensing the world
and the world is actively sensing my heart.
And I hear,
and there are no words.
