The hard thing about listening
to music, narration, theater,
video clips, TV, and yes - people
any one -
is always when THAT voice
is NOT the one we hear INSIDE...
the one the MIND provides so freely
and personally...
so its somehow 'wrong'
the timbre, tone, the feel of it,
the way it just DOESN'T fit right...

...and the dissatisfaction grows
and takes away from the focus
and often closes our ears,
hearts, minds.

But when it IS that voice we hear inside -
well, listening is the very least we CAN do...
Gawd...
ya know?

yes.. I do know.. when the heart speaks.. but.. I still like your choice of music..

Harve Presnell.. I like your choice of music.. this is very good.. and there have been times that I have heard a voice that didn't ...fit... but not very often have I heard one that I could not get comfortable with.. usually it is the words they speak that I find disagreeable.. however.. there are those voices.. every once in a day beyond forever.. that resonates with the vibrations of my soul.. and I can not stop listening..

The voice, inside me, is telling me that I am probably reading this totally different than everyone else here. But maybe that is what you want, Chris, for it to mean something personal to each person.

Only too well.

And when we listen with our heart..it usually is that VOICE...and the GAWD..is right...it's just right...

[emmajoy]

its not the mind, it's not the hearing, it's the heart .. its neither the master nor the servant, its the space between them .. the sounds that come out of their silence ..

[Rene Velez]

right in the thick of it as always Chris...Bravo

so good to come back to your words

How true this is (I know I responded once already)! The same applies to when you hear a voice so deep, so strong, so seductive, and then you see the person who goes with that voice...completely not the image you've constructed. Shamefully enough, when this happened, I turned and walked out of the room! I couldn't handle the such graphic disparity!
