Listen Listen: There is peace in the space between the noise. Listen: There is wisdom in the pauses. Listen: There is understanding in the quietness. Listen: There is knowing in the silence. Listen It is in the silence that our communication becomes two-way. Look for the magick in your day-to-day life. Then speak your dreams and desires. Give vent to those hidden or supressed longings. Manifest the magick into your practical and physical daily life and see the profound rewards and results.
