Waiting in Line
When you listen you reach into dark corners and pull out your wonders. When you listen your ideas come in and out like they were waiting in line. Your ears don't always listen. It can be your brain, your fingers, your toes. You can listen anywhere. Your mind might not want to go. If you can listen you can find answers to questions you didn't know. If you have listened, truly listened, you don't find your self alone.
