Don't Rush | Part II

Don't rush this conversation
Barreling into each other
Thoughtlessly ploughing through one another.

Pause
Listen
with your mouth closed.
Listen
without trying to get in everything you want to say.
Listen.
Ignore the chatter clattering through your mind.
Listen with your eyes and your ears. Preciously.

Give them all of you in this moment.
Listen
Lovingly.
Your undivided attention
the most precious gift of all.
