It's easy to hear the traffic rushing by, a phone ring in a meeting, or a baby crying in church. These noises can drive us crazy if we are in a bad mood. Sometimes we miss the sound of rivers and rain, the birds singing to each other, or the wind through the trees when we are caught up with what bothers us concerning our external and internal struggles.

Maybe we hear our internal judgements like traffic, our jealousy like a ringing phone, or our complaints like that crying baby. The ego is the dominant inner-voice. Do you ever listen to the inner-inner voice of compassion, moderation, or humility? This is where the language of peace is spoken. Listen patiently, and you will hear it above all the rest.
