𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆

Listening,

Deep listening

Is a declaration

Of love.

No adornments

No adding,

Just simple,

sober hearing

From the heart.

I am loyal

To not talking

over you.

Whether it be

Words you hear

From my voice, aloud,

Or the internal Chatter

Dictating the

Rights and wrongs

Likes or dislikes

Pro’s or con’s

From within.

To deeply listen

Is to drop

All defences

And surrender

your fullest attention

On noticing 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔

𝔸𝕔𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 in front of you

Without getting

In the way

With your own dream.

I am loyal to

Sober hearing;

the bedrock of Trust,

For I Tenderly

Witness all of you

beyond paving my way

Into the depths

Of my own imagination,

To stay present in the

one

Truly

respectful

conversation.

I am devoted

To tracing

Every mountain and valley

Of your expression

As an act of

Respectfully

Receiving

All of you

Through Living out love.

For these heartfilled,

Open hands declare

“𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖”

“𝑰 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖”

There are two

Choices in each

Moment of exchange.

I can either ‘create’

Over the top of you

In the hands of mind

Or choose to

Soften into

Grateful ‘witnessing’

and 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈

With what’s alive

And coming though you.

𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚.

Open.

Curious.

Undefended.

I am devoted

To meeting your

Sharing heart

With nothing but

space and love,

For this trust

In true listening

Reveals the medicine

Of who I really am

Each time

we come together.

Let’s Rest now,

in the generosity

Of our fullest attention

And the respite of

𝑴𝒚 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔

That are safe to house

The weight of it all.

- 𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕
