LOVE as listening

“The act of listening anchored by LOVE strengthens the bond of being together forever…”

When the two ears are put side by side, it forms the shape of the heart. Interestingly, the word “ear” sits right in the middle of the word “h-ear-t”. This indicates that the ear becomes the way to the heart. The function of the ear is listening. Therefore, listening as an art is also the way to the heart.

LOVE = ear to h-ear-t = LOVE 

LOVE is all that you listen to depending on what intention, motivation, conviction and passion that we engage in it. LOVE involves listening. It’s the tremendous gift of God. It’s the miraculous action that makes the difference in the life of oneself and others.

Can you imagine LOVE without the act of listening?

Absolutely, not. Our life experiences teach us that love involves the act of listening. Listening happens to oneself and also to others. For the beloved, the words of his/her loved one get engraved in the heart; whoever they be couples, young lovers, families etc.- The words make a huge impact on one’s life. The ears are sharp, 100% attentive and alert when listening to the beloved.

The act of listening anchored by LOVE strengthens the bond of being together forever.” This applies to any sort of relationship- friends, lovers, couples and others.
