Stop. Listen. Who do you hear whom do you feel.

Is there something calling to you can you not hear its song: but no this cannot be for how can a tree, a rock, or the coldness of the air sing a song to you.

When you are struck down by a disease, is that not your soul singing to you, when you bite into a juicy red apple does not that apple sing to your body.

All things sing songs of joy and sorrow the songs of joy bring happiness and pleasure and the songs of sorrow bring wisdom and learning, so stop and listen, do not resist, do not run away.

Listen to the mosquito buzzing in your ear, the tree swaying gently in the breeze and the songs of hot and cold.

As a tear drips from your eye it sings its song of sorrow, as a smile comes to your lips it sings its song of joy, as the wind blows through your hair it sings its song of freedom.

As the bee thrusts its sting deep into your flesh it sings its song of death, and as the newborn opens its eyes it sings its song of life.

These are the songs of joy and sorrow wisdom and learning all will strike you deep within, all will strike you deep

within, all will help you learn, if you will but stop and listen to the song within.
