Gods I Want To Cradle Them Both In A Warm Net Of Safety And Love

The Hardest Skill in the World

Listening seems easy—until you actually try it.

Not hearing. Not nodding while mentally drafting your rebuttal. But real listening.

The kind that waits. The kind that slows your breath. The kind that says, “I’m not the center of this moment. You are.” In a world that rewards volume, speed, and certainty, listening is a countercultural act. 

It doesn’t feed your ego. It won’t trend. It doesn’t finish the sentence.

But it does build bridges. It can crack open walls. It will make room for the sacred. 

Because sometimes, the most important voice in the room is the one you’ve been talking over— including God’s.

The loudest voice isn’t always the wisest. The first answer isn’t always the truest. And the best response? Might just be the pause.

So today: Be quick to listen. Slow to speak. Slower still to react.

You might be amazed what you hear when you're not the one doing the talking.

Gotta remind myself not to overdo it when looking at beautiful art. There’s this special golden zone where you’re the most inspired and motivated by other people’s art but it’s so easy to slip into overwhelm and get demotivated :(
