Today I decided to just listen... closing the eyes and opening up my ears... trying to listen not only to their words but to their emotions. Some say that if one of our senses is not working the other senses grows or becomes more sensitive.

As I close my eyes... I hear children playing outside, left over fireworks being fired in the nearby baranggay... tricycles... and all other sort of things the normal ear can gather... I begun to tune my listening to the people close to me. 

I hear pain... pain that wanted to be free... I hear swearing of the life they could have lived... I hear satisfaction for the things they were able to acquire. By this time I tuned my ear to me... I hear love trying to be shown, I hear care and worry trying to fight it off... and I hear pain, trying to hide in the darkest and deepest part of my soul... pain caused by limitations, pain caused by arrogance and pain caused by people who just wouldn't care.

After hearing all those things... I try to silence the pain, not by disregarding it but by setting it free... "Begone all the pain I feel" I said... did it work I dunno hopefully, all I can do is hope. Next I try to fuel the Love and the Care... but the worry keeps on enveloping the care so I just left it there. 

By this time... I started opening my eyes... and colors, wonderfully set across the horizon suddenly appears... bringing promises of a good tomorrow!!!  

If Only Life is this simple... But I can dream can't I?
