What the world needs now?

Yes, love.

Not love the emotion, the feeling, the thrill, the too-quick-to-escape thing often called love.

But the love of dedication, commitment, care.

And something else. The world needs this now. We all need this now.

Listeners.

The world needs listeners.

We need listeners.

People we can talk to who will actually listen. Not focused on what they’ll say next. Not obsessed with forced outcome.

Just listening.

Attentive. Alert.

There.

Today, let us hear.

Today, let us not rush the conversation.

Today, let us have ears to hear and hearts to love.
