Why We Must Wear a Mask

Nature is telling us that we have been talking nonsense. And talking too much.

Too much of nonsense is still nonsense.

So we have been advised to PAUSE and BE QUIET.

The Universe is saying that we must wear masks so we can be reminded that we have only been interested in talking about what we think, feel and see, and have lost our capacity to hear about what someone else may be experiencing.

We have been too preoccupied with imposing our reality on others.

So we have been advised to STOP in order to LISTEN MORE, and TALK LESS.

We are interconnected. We are interdependent. There is no escaping this reality of our existence.

That is why we must wear our masks (translates to- “shut up!”) and try to understand each other better. Let others talk. Listen to them. Understand them (That does not translate to “you must necessarily agree with them”).

Connect with them.

When we are fully present and listen, others feel heard. That’s when they will respond, and reciprocate by listening to us. And that becomes the birth of a compassionate conversation that connects us to one other.

We can change the world, one conversation at a time.

So just wear your mask.

And stop talking.

Just listen.

Stay Safe!

(Masks save lives)
