Listening is a special art. It is a fine art developed by practice. One hears the unexpressed as clearly as if it had been verbalized. One hears silence screaming in clarion tones. Ninety decibels. Hears tears, unshed, falling. Hears hunger gnawing at the back of spines; hears aching feet pushed past that one more step. Hears the repressed hurt of incest hears the anguish of spousal abuse. Hears it all. Clearly, listening is a fine art. It can translate an obscure text into reality that walks, weeps, and carries its own odor. Listening can decode a strangers eye and hear autobiography. Listening can watch a listless babe and understand the abscence of the future, the improbability, in fact, of possibility. Listening, more often than not, is a crushing experience. ~Mari Evans Clarity is Concept
