Listen to Listen

Upon awakening,

I place myself in God’s presence,

humbling myself with silence.

I am not alone

I realize God’s image and likeness

surrounds me and abides in me.

“If we listen; we shall be changed…

led to higher things,

away from trifling matters.”[1]

What God says is for me alone.

If I listen to the call;

I share the confidence.

“Wait here and be with me.”[2]

This is what we are asked to do…

to inflame the will, to be faithful.[3]

Lord, I am with you

give me ears –

to hear what you hear.

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
