If I believed in New Years resolutions mine would be to talk less and listen more. The fulfilled human life is lived by listening; listening to others, listening to the music of creation, listening to the voice of the Creator. Wisdom is found in the act of listening. God himself said of Christ, "This is my son whom I love, listen to him." There is a band I've been listening to off and on these past few months that really encapsulates this idea of listening; they are called Listener. The genre is talk music, kind of a yelling/chanting of prophetic like poetry. To enjoy this kind of music, you actually need to listen to it, there is busy in the music, but you need to listen to the actual words, this is not music you can enjoy as background noise, you need to take a moment to appreciate it, just like life. There are still voices crying out in the desert, if only we take the time to listen to them. Enjoy
