In Chinese, the verb listen consists of the words “you”, “heart”, “eye”, “ear”, and “undivided attention”.

Hear me, my dear.

Open your heart to feel my words.

Have empathy and patience for what I am sharing with you.

Hear me not only with your ears
but also with your eyes and heart!

Observe my facial expressions as I speak.

They have a story that mere words may not convey.

Observe me with your attention, as if we have just met for the first time.

Let go of making listening time
between TV commercials and text messages.

Hear and listen to me
with your mind, heart, ears and eyes.

Wise words in this world of multitasking, minimal listening.

This is a wonderful message and the lyrics and arrangement shape it in an appealing delivery. The two lines: "Observe my facial expressions as I speak./They have a story that mere words may not convey." are precious messages, culminated in the very next line, "Observe me with your attention, as if we have just met for the first time." Splendid way to present this essence of human kindness and positive-energy connection. Thank you! ~~ Diana

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
