Lending an ear…………..

I mentioned in my last post that from time to time we need to find a pair of ears to listen to; listen to our feelings with a deeper heart that truly cares.  We seek advice, suggestion and mere opinion, when we come across crossroads, where our mind gets cluttered to make the right choice. Maybe just to reaffirm our own convictions. And we do come across these crossroads now and then.

And it is not easy for one to put forth his two cents, when one choses not mere words to soothe the heart, not simply to make the other person feel better, but to really help with a bigger and deeper heart which truly cares for the other person and does not mind if it sounds even bitter. And it is more difficult, when one has not been in same shoes before, not come across similar crossroads, not experienced the doubtful moments.

Even one does not have any words to offer, one can still help by sitting next holding the hands and lending the ear. Merely saying, “I feel for you” has more impact on the tormenting heart at that moment as it shows a sincere heart that truly loves and cares. More so, when one sends a note later, saying “thinking of you”.

True friends may not always be of help, but certainly be there, lending their ears filing the void of silence with their thoughts for you. And these thoughts are the priceless pearls in the sands of our life that we do cherish and live for.
