Today's OneWord: Listening
"Listen!"
"I'm listening."
"Just listen!"
"I've been listening the whole time."
The poem was clear in my head. "Listen to the exhortation of the dawn." Sanskrit. Kalidasa. Somewhere, a composer wrote a song to the words.
"What do you want me to listen to?"
You stumbled mentally. I could see it. Like a sunrise wavering on a hilly brain, hesitant to cast the crest in sunlight.
