To live is to learn to listen to the whispers of the soul, to the slightest impressions of our feelings; it is to learn to respect and honor them.
Amid the noise of the world, we become deaf and fail to notice the wound growing within our chest. To remain silent, alone, and meditative is not only important, but necessary.
We need to listen to the voice that arises from silence, the deepest voice of our soul, and understand what it needs: sometimes rest; sometimes a pause, a word of comfort, a change in perspective. What we cannot do is ignore the greatest force within us: feeling.
To seek the first and greatest commandment of Christ is to recognize that this voice, which whispers within us when everything else is silent, needs the unconditional and welcoming love that only God has.
The more we care for this voice by seeking to remain in the comforting presence of Christ, the more our inner being will heal, and we will live life abundantly.
All animals in nature live in complete harmony. They did not need to learn how to live; they simply followed their nature.
We humans are made in the image and likeness of God. We will live as Christ did when we simply learn to quiet ourselves and listen to the true voice of our soul.
