I was shocked when I pulled up my blog and saw that I hadn’t written since September! It’s time to begin again.

So, I’ll begin again with my One Little Word (OLW) for 2018. It’s a simple word: Listen.

Listen before speaking.

Listen for what is said.

Listen for what is not said.

Listen for beauty.

Listen for change.

Listen between the words, in the small spaces where meaning breathes.

Listen to rain, birds, wind, footsteps, frogs, and all sound.

Then, listen in silence.

I like this One Little Word.
