There are so many people...
ideas,
dreams,
etc.
...we pass by every day!
It may not even be that we don't find them significant, but because we don't slow down and listen, or just stop, breathe, and ponder, we constantly miss so many brilliant dreams, life-changing ideas, and inspiring people.
Hear so your soul may live...
Listen...
Engage...
Feel...
The concerns of each day can be as loud as a thousand blaring trains; thoughts can also seem like a billion of those jarring trains, but why are we afraid to slow down and stop.
What is the illusion we are chasing after?
Does it even have significance?
Who told us that we will miss out if we take a moment to reflect and be grateful?
To stop and reflect may actually help us avoid pot holes, dead ends, and mistakes we may have overlooked because we were so "busy".
Hear so your soul will live...
We have the ability to listen.
Let's appreciate it!
Marvel...
We walk around deaf and numb as if everything and everyone around us is on mute...
Listen...
Engage...
Feel...
It may waste time.
It does slow us down.
It does make us feel...
It may exhaust.
It does seem overwhelming, but being connected to something greater than ourselves actually teaches us more about ourselves than we will ever know; ideas and plans we strive and toil over for months and years, could be unlocked and discovered in two minutes, in the moments we stop and learn about someone else, but that will never happen if we habitually live as impulsive, impatient, and insensitive people...
...especially if we assume others are insignificant, because it appears they are not as driven and passionate!
Each encounter, experience, and event is a lesson that teaches us far more than the arrogance we proudly tote on our backs; the more we stack on our backs, the more detached we become because we have lost all feeling, everything is numb...
All the pseudo-significance, influence and popularity, and knowledge acquired is pointless without love.
Why do we strive for anything else, when love perpetually generates hope and breathes inspiration?
Love covers a multitude of faults and failures; why do we dare think we can thrive and be enlightened without it?!
Love makes all things new and thrilling...
...love is the diamond in the rough we will overlook and think is worthless if we are blinded by our "deaf"-icit!
Hear so your soul may live...
