Resolved

Resolved.

When I listen to music just to close my eyes and listen to music–perhaps to stare into the fire but nothing more.

When I read, to give myself to reading alone, tasting the words for their flavor and not rushing across the page.

When I walk, just to walk.

When I listen, to listen with my heart.

And when I pray, to pray down to the core of my soul.
