"Learn to be quiet enough to hear the sound of the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others."

Our world today is filled with man-made noise that drowns out many of sounds that can be heard in nature as well as the voice with in in our hearts. Many of us cannot go anywhere without our I-Pods, I-Pads and I-phones or their equivalents. We cannot live without filling our ears with sound.
As writers, musicians and artists we must learn to be quiet. We must have the self-discipline to shut out the noise from the outside world and learn to listen to the small voice deep inside. If we learn to hear that small gentle voice, then maybe we will one day be able to hear that voice in others. We will be able to connect with others through the sounds of our voices.
