For No One There to Hear



just the listening - and the 
world now a 
song

played for no one 
there to hear.

~
It's a distinction made, from hearing, where there is an individual present providing commentary to what is heard, to the simplicity of listening, just sound in the pureness of it's expression. Listening is true meditation, sound unfiltered by bias or demand, it's a birdsong floating through air to reach the center of the soul. That's the music of the world. 

What we are, in essence, is the listening.

Only after the initial play of sound, musical language, is it translated to an understanding for the mind. We are always the prior of both translation and understanding, we are a backdrop of sincerity, silence, providing space for the musical world to be. 

Just listen....
