You don’t have to ask questions,
Mom says.
People will tell you
What they want
You to know.
Let it flow:
Listen.
This is old advice from mom.
I don’t even remember the context
In which she gave it to me.
But it has stuck, and that’s what I do:
Let it flow:
Listen.
It’s likely she said it more than once.
I don’t ask questions.
In listening,
I have learned to hear
How you feel
Who you are
What is true.
It takes time,
But I learn.
Speak to me, and you can be sure of this:
I know you.
