An ability we sometimes do not use enough.

You may look but do not talk

Read the words without a sound

Mentally consume the meaning

Of each phase and verse displayed

Sing to your internal voice today

 

Listen carefully to my thoughts to understand their meaning

A quick glance may cause you to miss the main idea

Try not to read between the lines

The main point lay at the surface

The unspoken word can be a powerful tool

For those who take the time to read it

Like rocks on the floor of a fast flowing stream

Many things may go undiscovered for many years without being seen

To rush when there is no need

Because you think you are in a hurry

To chat on your cell phone during the middle of your drive

In lieu of the harm you might cause others

 

We speak many times when we should just listen

In search for fault in others when the true blame is in the mirror

So, look but don’t speak

This is a lesson to learn to stay healthy and free
