“May we always try to listen not only with our ears, but with our hearts. “ – Jocelyn Soriano
Much of the really important words often remain unsaid. Out of the many things we say, we reserve what we really mean within our own hearts. I guess this is one reason why we often fail to understand each other.
If only we had the honesty and the courage to say how much we really love another. If we only had that childlike simplicity to voice out what we really need or how we really feel. Maybe then we’d get to know each other better, deeper. Maybe we could finally give each other what we really need – whether it be space, apology, encouragement or affection.
Today, let’s try to listen, really listen to what other people are saying. Because somewhere beneath the anger, somewhere beneath the pride and the noise and the laughter, there is that part that longs to be really heard.
If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I’m sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
If I knew you, and you knew me.
-Nixon Waterman

I adore how my granddaughter will blurt out of the blue: “I love you, Gammie.” Yes, if we could all be like little children who hear with our hearts as well as our ears.
Blessings, Joyce!
I used to be suggested this website by way of my cousin. I am not positive whether or not this post is written by him as nobody else recognise such precise approximately my difficulty.
You’re amazing! Thank you!
