Voices

We listen to the voices of others but often do not hear
the message carried on the voice itself,
not the content of what is being said,
but the place from which it comes.
Not the feeling that is conscious, but the feeling
that is beneath consciousness.

All words carry vibration.
All words can be listened to as invisible containers
of the secret messages of the soul.

Next time someone speaks to you,
listen not just to the meaning of the words but
to the sound of the voice.
In that sound lies the journey of the heart
and the history of the soul.
