My Heart Can Sing ~ Ch. 57

Posted by LaRonda on February 4th, 2007

As I lay there in the stillness, I suddenly remembered the second verse in the Song of St. Barbara.

“Now because of you
my heart can sing…..
Love of my life
you touch me so!

You fill me up
I overflow!
Now because of you
my heart has wings.”

In my head, I heard an entire orchestra in accompaniment to this song! I heard flutes, strings, horns, drums and crashing cymbals! I felt so alive! I felt hope! I felt gratitude! I felt overwhelmed with love! I let this inner-music carry me off into the land of dreams….

The Ear of My Heart

My name is LaRonda Zupp, and I am Deaf. Welcome to "The Ear of My Heart."

The title of my blog comes from the opening verse of St. Benedict’s prologue, which tells us to ‘listen carefully and attend with the ear of our hearts.’ St. Benedict was a saint who urged us to listen within the depths of our soul, keeping ourselves attentive to wisdom that comes from the voice within, and inclining our hearts toward deeper understanding.

My blog title is not about “ears” or “hearing” or being able to “hear clearly,” the way hearing people can hear sound. It is about listening with PURE LOVING ATTENTION to what people are really communicating. This is what it means to me to listen and blog with ‘the ear of my heart.’
