Listen...

Listen.
No. Not like that.
Put your phone down, turn your TV off, take your headphones out...
Just listen...

Do you hear it?
Not the shuffle of paper, not the scrape of your chair, not even the sigh of breath that whispers from your lips and buzzes through your nostrils.

Stop trying to listen with your ears!
Those weak organs can only hear.

There. That's it...
Really listen.
Past the tired needle-worn track of voices: your mother sweetly chiding you to be realistic, your father grumbling disappointment, your teachers sighing in dismissal.

Do you hear it?
That quiet whisper?

That's your soul...
And it has something to tell you...
