If One Learns to Listen to Heart...

If one learns to listen to heart, it will tell one things so clearly—

what must be done, what must not be done, 

the real nature of people and places and things. 

Only it speaks so quietly, so subtly, 

and immediately a flood of reactions, explanations, 

excuses, theories have swamped it, 

and we do not even recognize it speak. 

Only listening carefully to what it wants to say, 

and remaining still until it has spoken, 

one cannot really do the wrong thing.
