The animals know
when to come to us
because they are
knowingly linked
by the web of listening.
The miracle motions
of birds flocking
turning left, turning right,
they’ve not forgotten
how to listen
to the Great Listening.
The Great Listening
goes on beneath our feet,
above our heads,
inside our hearts.
And the animals swirl
in delightful fashion.
They seem to move
before the wind moves them,
as if they knew the future
and were bringing it back to us.
They let themselves be moved.
They hear the Great Thoughts
circling this Earth,
the larger language
circling this Earth.
They transmit messages
because they’re listening
without thinking
and we can learn from them
by watching movements
scribbled in the Earth,
above our heads,
inside our hearts.
The animals know
when to come to us
when we are listening
without thinking.
Like them
we are linked by litening
without thinking
linked by listening.
