LISTENING
When I ask you to listen
to me
And you start giving me advice,
you have not done what I asked.
When I ask you to listen
to me
And you begin to tell me why
I shouldn't feel that way
you are trampling on my feelings.
When I ask you to listen
to me
and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem,
you have failed me,
strange as it may seem.
Listen - All I asked was
that you listen,
Not talk or do, just hear me.
I can do for myself - I am not helpless
maybe discouraged and faltering but not helpless.
When you do something
for me
that I can and need to do for myself
you contribute to my fear and inadequacy.
But when you accept as
a simple fact
that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational
then I can stop trying to convince you
and get about this business of understanding what's
behind this irrational feeling.
When that's clear,
the answers are obvious and I don't need advice.
Irrational feelings make more sense
when we understand what's behind them.
Perhaps that's why prayer
works
sometimes, for some people -
because God is mute and doesn't give advice or try to fix
things.
God just listens and lets you work it out for yourself.
So please listen and
just hear me.
and if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn -
and I'll listen to you.
