LISTEN UP AND LISTEN DOWN
Dear Friends
We so often become attracted and distracted by the superficial surround sounds both of the external world and our mentalising self-talk of and about the external world. This mental talk creates and makes, compounds and conditions, the endless mental comments, commentary, complaint, critique and ongoing concerns that fill our mind and detract from what might be more important.
Why not take some time to ‘listen up and listen in’ so we can actually hear what our Heart-Mind might be needing to tell us or talk about!
Our Mindful-Awareness Meditation offers a special opportunity for just this possibility.
My poetry below expresses this desperate need to listen within.
John B.
LISTEN UP AND LISTEN DOWN
Listen up and listen down;
Listen in and listen long.
Listen wide and side by side.
Listen in and listen down deep;
Se we can hear and see;
Feel and know, what is Right and Real!
But most of all for one and all;
Listen for and listen to;
The Truth of the Heart-Mind.
Listen to the talk and the tell of the Heart-Mind;
That sees, suggests and says;
That calls and cries up, from down deep within!
Let’s settle our self and sit;
Let’s quiet and quell that mental self-talk;
Let’s ‘Heart-Listen’ as our gracious gift of Meditation.
