lets test those ears of yours my dear :)

sometimes we feel like little fireflies

free

bright

safe

until walls of glass encompass your world and you begin to panic.

you begin to suffocate in this mysterious jail

only when you fall and begin to lose your light does the curious child realize you are not enjoying your new home.

you plead and beg that the child will release you. 

with a confused look, the child opens the lid and you find yourself and fly free.

but how often does the child ignore your pleads?

through the greeks we learn

Agamemnon ignored his daughter Iphigenia when she plead for him 

to save her from his priests who wanted to sacrifice her

 for good weather on the sail across the sea to the war of troy.

he was her father.

she loved him.

but he didnt listen.

be like the child 

dont be stupid. 

listen.

is that really so difficult? sometimes it only takes a few minutes--
--other times, a few seconds.

listening shows love and consideration and respect.

the only thing i would ever ask, is that you would just listen. <3
