thesis: deep listening is the most alive

You can get

It promotes deep

Breathing

The unease of restlessness enveloped in our need

To be heard

And the human desire to be understood.

we want to hear our voice, the sounds of our vowels and deep consonants

as we bring on a endless tirade of useless

Facts and stories and dreams

To make the unease of our gnawing

Ache feel less lonely.

we listen to speak

It is an unease of knowing it's our turn soon.

“It will be my turn in a moment, I must have all my words together.”

Unease of chewing is the same as the

Malaise of listening,

Swallowing,

Especially talking.

Do you let go of yourself a bit

When you deeply listen and feel the other person’s

Strained out thoughts?

Let go, listen to the eat and chew and breathe

In the direction of

Unease

Go toward the unease

And open your world to a

Truly divine,

Eternal Universe.
