For millions of years,
mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed
the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen.
Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together
to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by
talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like
this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the
technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do
is make sure we keep talking. [Stephen Hawking]
WOW!!! I’ve
rarely read something that hit me BEtween my brain and heart so exquisitely.
For me, talking too much has looooooong been the flaw of
mine I’ve had the hardest time taming. I think this is why I so want to go live
in a monastery, where quiet is the greater part of time. In my solitude, here,
Now, I have come to love silence. Hearing the sound of Life, untranslated, and
often too mysterious to BEgin to comprehend.
Today, however, I look at the hope of talking. As long as I
am listening. And as long as others are talking and listening, too.
MayBE that is what writing this
is about?!
Make sure we keep
talking…
I love you, Currie
