Talk Less, Listen More

Al likes writing, the none verbal language; eyes and hands without voice. He's always saying something he hopes you'll comprehend. He's writing something he senses you'll understand. Ben likes visible words, the constructive communication without conversation; the beauty of the silent intake, that may be read without sound. Cal likes thinking without utterance, because it resides and abides inside. He likes the language of a smile that is saying "Yes" or implying tolerance. Frowning? Not so much. Dave likes meditating while still awakened; feasting on good and decent material; filtering, purifying, and sterilizing his mind. Dan likes dreaming, that sometimes reveals our inner 'workings', but often releases the taste of mystery. But Dan suggests that we not allow the mystery to be a source of worry, because God often speaks through our dreams. Mary likes musing, that sometimes takes her on unintended travels to unknown places, connecting dots to unfamiliar faces. Mary thinks such exercise contributes much to growth. Hal's heart and mind are fixated and satiated with the reality of The God of The Bible, but he also likes listening to various positions and oppositions as they display their dispositions. Betty likes listening because there are too few who care to talk less. She also likes talking, but not so much. 082422PS
