I Am Listening


Listening. 

"Well aren't you going to say something!?" That's what I would yell at my mother when I was young and I knew everything.

My mother is an amazing listener.  Looking back I recall how her eyes could look deep into me and  her ears could hear the real cry of my heart, over the noise of my words.  She knew the problem before I did.

I love to listen now, it's a skill I'm working on.  The more it improves, the more I realize people are always telling the truth.  Sometimes it's hidden in a riddle.
