Daily Question, June 12

How may I celebrate the unique songs of others’ hearts?

  • Malag

    Listening. Songs need a good acoustic to soar and reverberate. Best I keep my mouth shut and listen to the melody.

  • Hemant

    By listening with a clear heart knowing each note is unique and music to the creator

  • Linette

    By knowing that all hearts are just wanting to be loved and accepted. Understanding that not all beings know how to get that need met. Acknowledging that a lot of hearts are broken. Acceptance of them all is my celebration❤️

  • Debra

    By singing ‘harmony’ with their heart songs.

  • Mica

    Sometimes with difficulty and much pondering. Sometimes easily and happily

    “We are all miniature Christ Logoi and express ourselves within It. ”

    “The Christ Logos uses the bodies to express Its own Self as, firstly, a self-aware personality and, later, as a Self-aware Soul. We are all miniature Christ Logoi and express ourselves within It. The Christ Logos is the light ‘which lighteth every man that cometh into the world’ (John I :9), and the universes resound in harmony with Its expression.”

    The practice of radical hospitality has afforded me a simple and straightforward way of accepting people as and where they are, in their present state of being. It is challenging for sure sometimes. And yet. always, always, I get more out of it than I put into it.

  • Michele

    Listening. No judgement.

    • Mica

      Ah, but those can be so difficult – thank you, Michele, and hugs!

  • Katrina

    By listening to them, remembering them, being changed by them

    What a beautiful question. Music is life's song accompanying the abundance of joy's Spring. As a multi-culturalist who has studies numerous spiritualities, religions, Universe Birthed and Origin stories, worldviews, philosophies, arts, sciences, etc., most of the time there’s only appreciation; gratefulness. Why is there an impossible to fathom diversity in the Cosmos? Why an unfathomable diversity of nature’s abundance, universal richness in the plethora of cultural, etc., traditions, ...

    What a beautiful question. Music is life’s song accompanying the abundance of joy’s Spring. As a multi-culturalist who has studies numerous spiritualities, religions, Universe Birthed and Origin stories, worldviews, philosophies, arts, sciences, etc., most of the time there’s only appreciation; gratefulness. Why is there an impossible to fathom diversity in the Cosmos? Why an unfathomable diversity of nature’s abundance, universal richness in the plethora of cultural, etc., traditions, experiences? What informs a mind that every thread in the fabric of life is needed and necessary for life’s fabric to not be torn asunder, if not the eye of our hearts? Is this a direction that informs, uplifts evolutionary growth of all kinds? A twig of poetree elucidates ?

    Tone

    Life’s signs and meanings
    perceived by all our senses
    and being’s foci of attention, can
    divine from within and without.

    That’s if our inner-eye
    isn’t clouded by false-ego,
    self-conscious self, or doubt.

    Copy, share as you will. Thanx for all you do. Have a blessed day ? reality

      Thank you for the beautiful twig of poetree, reality. And for your reflection, especially the expression “the eye of our hearts.” Words to treasure indeed. xx

      • Mica

        ‘eye of the heart’ – thank you, reality and Polyanna

      • reality

        You’re welcome, I try. As well, thank you both for replying and all you do ? reality

  • sunnypatti

    By being fully present and remembering that we are each a unique expression of the Divine.

  • Cathy

    With quiet respect.

  • devy

    Rather than argue or try to solve others problems, listen to what others are saying. If it’s something that we don’t agree with, try to understand the reasons for their train of thought or belief.

  • Pollyanna Gladwell

    By asking that they and I are willing to to teach our song to the other. I know we won’t master each other’s song (nor want to), but it would be mind-expanding and joyful to occasionally sing a bar or two together… maybe even a chorus! Tra-la-la!

    • ???

      • Pollyanna Gladwell

        Thank you for the musical notes, Verena! Unfortunately I don’t have emojis in my version of OS and I could sure have used them with my post today… but you supplied them and that is a lovely sharing.xx

  • Kevin

    How may I celebrate the unique songs of others’ hearts? By not talking, but listening fully, to the depth and tenor of their life-song and where it springs from.

    • and where it springs from, this makes all the difference, Thank you Kevin!

  • Lioness

    By listening and respecting. Their song may be very different from my own, but that is good, and accepting that means our hearts will be filled with all kind of song..

  • sometimes it’s hard to even hear a melody that is very different from one’s own… so the practice of deep listening ? is the only way I guess. once the melody is heard it can be honored and the moment my heart is touched the angels will celebrate with us – so let’s party ??
