What a weekend. Here we go...
To start off, I became quite ill on Friday. I woke up with a very bad sore throat. I am not here to ask for sympathy, trust, that is the last thing I want because I brought it upon myself with lack of sleep, dehydration, etc. I am still learning to fully take care of myself.
However many cool things have happened to me because of being sick. First of all, I wake up Friday morning and my voice sounds like Batman off of the Dark Night. HOW SWEET IS THAT! Probably not too cool cause I wanted to hear my voice after that and I kept on talking, agravating my throat. Whatever, it isn't everyday I get to sound like BATMAN!
But another thing I learned being sick is how much more I can listen. Believe it or not, the Batman voice did get old. (I know, who would of thought that would have happened?) So as I sat in my car to get some sore throat remedies and such, I couldn't sing a long to any of my cds. So I just sat there and listened. It was so awesome. It was like a whole new level of listening. Why? Because I couldn't talk. I didn't even want to think of my voice because I couldn't produce it out of my own mouth. It was like my brain was slept clean for a while. Just waiting to be filled again.
I consider myself a good listener. I am never one to just talk for talking sake. I love listening to people, and I learn so much from people. Now I realized somehow I can even take my listening farther and dig in deeper by even getting rid of that voice inside my head trying to process everything at once as well as notice everything that is going around. Time to Focus in on reality. Stop talking, start listening, learn more, and then I may begin to notice reality when it comes (as if it isn't here already...)
