A Listening Meditation Experience to a Poem that I wrote, or channeled perhaps while contemplating the need to surrender to this moment that the Universe has provided and seems to be asking of me, of us, to simplify, to slow down, to listen and ultimately to surrender. I hope this poem brings you insight, and that you accept the invitation to surrender to begin your journey inward and really listen to what you need most.

Listen.

I asked you to slow down.

Please stop.

Stop in.

Here.

Here.

Over here.

Can you hear me now?

Listen,

Please.

I've got something you need to hear.

Shh.

Quiet.

I've got something you need to do.

Will you for me?

Can you?

Please.

Stop doing.

Don't go.

Stay.

Longer.

Enough talking.

Spending.

Going.

Talking again.

Please listen.

You can't hear me when you're always talking.

Listen.

Please notice me.

I'm talking to you.

Can you turn that down?

Not the music.

Your pace.

Slow down.

Slower.

And slower.

Can you see me?

I'm right here.

I'm asking you to stop.

I've pleaded for you.

Just stop.

Hear what I have to say.

And still,

You shop.

You buy.

You spend.

You go.

You do.

You share.

You unshare.

Hoarders.

Preparers.

Seriously.

Stop.

I asked you to slow down.

It's time to listen.

And still you go.

Taking.

More than your fair share.

Fair.

What is fair?

You know.

It is within you to know.

Slow down.

Listen.

It's time to surrender.

You can't grow when you are moving.

You need to let go now.

It's time to grow.

Stop.

Steady now.

Be still.

Listen.

Lean back into the stillness.

And let go.

It's time to be held.

Surrender.

And listen.
