When people talk, they unfold their whole universe. All you have to do is listen. Listen without grabbing. Listen without intent. Just listen to the noise they make. Just listen to the noise and watch the gestures. Don’t listen to respond. Listen to let go. Let the words run through you and around you. Don’t hold on to anything that they say. Just listen, and you are going to get to see the whole universe of the one who is speaking. His fears. His accomplishments. The things that he values. The pain he carries daily. Just listen without grabbing.
People. Awesome. Social. Us. Contemporary.
I don’t know if you ever thought about this, but we are writing history.
People. You. Me. Us. Contemporary.
History.
What will the books say about us? What social problems did we solve?
You. Me. Contemporary. Us.
What problems did we create?
You. Me. Contemporary. Us.
We are writing history. 7 billion at the same time.
You. Me. Contemporary. Us.
Psalm 90 – 10:
” Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.”
What are we writing? What are we expressing?
You. Me … Us.
Contemporary.
