One of the things I love about opening the windows when the weather changes is that you can hear the sounds of the world again, especially at night. The past two nights I’ve heard some peepers down the road and a particularly lyrical bird – do birds sing in their sleep? – and other far off sounds like tractor trailers and locomotives on distant tracks.<\/p>\n
Here’s my second take on this notion.<\/p>\n
The Universe Whispers<\/p>\n
The universe whispers that’s it out there –
\nlisten – with the peepers and sleepy birds
\nand the distant locomotive whistle
\nand the dog a couple of roads over.
\nCan you reset, retune your jaded ears?
\nWhen the universe speaks, you should listen.
\nHear it? It’s always whispering. Listen!
\nThe universe is rather big, they say.
\nThese messages we are hearing today
\nmight come from a time far away and past.
\nWait. I think it’s saying: do the right thing
\nlove each other, try harder, try again.
\nWhen the universe whispers in your ear
\nlean in, listen carefully and say yes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can you reset, retune your jaded ears? Continue reading
