Be really quick or active here to hear,
so “Listen” is the word we’d often use
to cover actions that might be what’s near
to those intentions, and what follows through
somehow in manifesting in this world
the kind of things that are shown in a life
that’s lived on Earth (where we’re all sent, or hurled),
exemplifying heaven - in this strife.
The active part of list’ning might be stretched
to cover asking questions which allow
us then to hear much deeper, once we’re meshed -
relating with some trust, and grace somehow.
Along with really hearing then belongs -
remembering, recalling to our minds
the stuff that is disclosed by who responds
and thinking, seeing options that love finds.
And slow to speak might not mean to speak slow-
ly; maybe it’s the time between our thoughts
and then when they get worded on the go,
to acts that might communicate of sorts,
in which case it’s the time to let the right-
hand hemisphere of our brains (which relate,
instead of just use data in a fight
to gain ascendancy, control, or bait) -
to give time to reflect, for wisdom’s way
to influence, inform, and then affect
by choosing what to do, and spesh’ly say,
instead of anger’s loss of true respect.
