Holly invites us to reflect on our spiritual journey. For the next several weeks, we will be writing about different little words. Carol’s word is Listen. I chose to write a poem today.
Turn off the sound machine.
Listen.
Hear the refrain of a hymn in your mind.
Find strength in the silence.Open the window.

Listen.
Hear her story.
Find company in connection.Enter the world.
Listen.
Hear echoes of chanting.
Find peace in shared sympathy.–Margaret Simon
