In a world of diversity, people and animals have different ranges of hearing. Mice hear sounds in a higher range than people; elephants, at a much lower range.

Our perception of the world is affected by what we hear. We may perceive only in part as we listen to one another, and there may be more to a person's story than we are aware of.

Certainly our range of understanding expands as we trust in Spirit to guide us. As we pray, trust, and become more aware of life's lessons in each experience, we appreciate one another's ideas, words, and actions. Our relationships flourish. Our work is like play. Our homes overflow with laughter.

We not only hear one another, we understand, appreciate, and support whatever heals our hearts and brings greater harmony to our relationships.
