We are always listening to something.
To what are we listening?

Are they words of love or words of hate?

Are they words that bring us together or separate us?

Are they words that remind us we are nothing less than the Divine manifesting itself as every human being, or words that reduce the enormity of creation to bodies we love or hate based upon the most trivial of differences such as gender, race, beliefs and appearances?

With what sounds are our hearts and mind filled?
