Listening

If I sit still long enough, I can listen.

I don’t always hear, but I can at least begin to listen.

Listening with intention helps.

I begin to hear the birds outside of the window.

I hear the cars buzzing by on the highway beyond.

And even though I begin to take that highway in my mind to the next great adventure in life….

The birdsong brings me back.

Deeper into my heart and into the heart of God than when I first sat down.

The listening circles back to stillness and the stillness brings ease.

Just begin. Breathing helps.

And listening to my breath allows me to maybe, if I’m lucky, hear my heart once in awhile.

As a writer, my inspirations come from various amazing sources, all for which I'm grateful. I believe in creation and evolution...I am a co-creator of this fine life and strive to constantly evolve myself and those around me. My hope is to accomplish this largely through writing. I am a perpetual student of life and hope to be an open channel for the Divine Muse as often as possible. This can take many forms, be it casual or even technical writing. I am open to considering all projects and tackling those that are in alignment with the highest of values. If I can feel the love and service in your mission and goals, I can get on board. The magic then takes on its own synergistic effect and outcomes are beyond even our original greatest vision. THAT'S the co-creation I'm excited about! Let's get started!
