Listen in a hurry

 JUST A SECOND…. 

“Extra Life” a recent book by Steven Johnson illustrates  how world-wide  life expectancy has doubled over the last century.  So … in seeking peace and joy terms it would seem. We ll have at least a moment or two  for taking  a second to respond rather than react.  If we find it difficult  to slow down then  how about we wrap our head around the  concept of  being in a hurry to listen?  If not that, then at least we might unload our verbal cannons until we make certain we aim at the right targets.  These are the thoughts behind the “Eight  Line Rhyme.Time  below.

Be you in a group or here alone

If common sense. Has somewhat flown

This rhyme will toss you all a bone

Say something  that should be widely known

While quick you’re tempted  to share  a groan

Resist. The whine and mute the moan

Remember. Not to hurl a stone 

For it’s glass houses we that you may own

Breathe First
