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.
