do you know what <br />will really change the world? <br />when we learn how to listen... <br />not just with our ears, <br />but with our minds, <br />with our hearts, <br />with eyes that have seen, <br />and known... <br />and so can see <br />our selves in others! <br />listen... <br />with compassion... <br />without condemnation, <br />or judgement. <br />with silence, <br />no need to correct, <br />or give advice. <br />with our hands, <br />open and willing to help. <br />with our feet, <br />ready to walk beside! <br />to listen... <br />as if to the sound <br />of our own hearts beating... <br />to listen, <br />and to understand!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/change-the-world-8/
