Listening

The ear is the organ of balance, and it is a passive receptor of sound. But you can reach the level of listening!

As we can learn, but not by endgaining, to get inside the feedback loop of listening to ourselves vocalizing....

can we learn, similarly, to get inside the feedback loop of listening to the Universe sitting?

Come on, Laurie. What have you attained by shaving your head? Sit up and speak up!

Listening to the Universe sitting? That phrase does not ring with any experience of mine.

I think that asking myself 'where am i' or 'how am i' is a type of listening and allowing for thought to inform my body is also listening.

After chanting i am more awake to the sound of birds in my garden.
