Mom was hard of hearing,so she took up psychoanalysis
to figure out what was going on.
Because she couldn't listen
to your words,
she'd look through you
and look at your
expressions
and body language.
I heard someone say that
you could read
from a phone book
and people would get
what it was
you wanted to say.
Is that what JC
meant when he said
that he spoke in parables
so that those
ready
would hear him?
It may not be the story,
but the subtext
that carries the message.
There are 6000+ languages
on our small planet,
yet we all have similar
hopes,
doubts,
frustrations,
and we may know
what others think about,
even without their words,
that are
often so
extraneous.
