Sound
We cannot see the wind, but we can both hear and see what it does. What some call intuition, others would call the eyes and ears of the heart. In real ways, only when we experience the Universe with our hearts as well as with our minds will our ears hear; our eyes see, realities we otherwise would never know.
“What I’ve learned is; you’ve got to be a driver. It’s like owning a car. You’ve got to know how to drive it.” - Jimmy Dick
