Beginner’s Ears
"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities,
but in the expert's there are few"
Shunryu Suzuki said.
What if we applied that to
what we hear.
How often do we not hear
or hear what we think people are saying
because we have expert ears?
What if we listened with beginner’s ears?
Would we hear with wonder and bewilderment?
Would we hear rhythms and vibrations,
would things sound like words
or like music
or something else I can’t imagine?
Or would I even hear with human ears?
Would I hear the symphony of sounds
and of whisperings
coming from the Ultimate
in a way that can be heard
only by beginner’s ears.
