Listen from the Heart
Listen from the Heart
It's the best way to hear.
Listen from the heart.
The heart has ears
but no head to judge
the words it is hearing.
Listen from the heart.
Let it bleed for you
as your soul struggles
to find its voice.
Listen from the heart.
Let it reveal the limits
of thinking and knowing
in an infinite universe.
Listen from the heart.
Let the heart be your hands
with which you reach out
to embrace everything.
Somewhere we know that without silence
words lose their meaning,
that without listening
speaking no longer heals,
that without distance
closeness cannot cure.
~ Henri Nouwen
