In search of what to say
Job 32:10-12 New King James Version (NKJV)
10 “Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me,
I also will declare my opinion.’
11 Indeed I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
12 I paid close attention to you;
And surely not one of you convinced Job,
Or answered his words—
What is impulse when you reason ... or what is it to meditate?
Is it wise to speak without thinking so that even self is surprised?
Listening to your own reason … do you know where it originates?
the things in and out of season … or things just improvised?
Searching out what to say … to someone who really listens?
Is that merely finding … what has been there all along?
Yes it is an experience … that often is ignored
and easily forgotten … in the humanness syndrome.
If you really listen ... or read another person’s thoughts
it is like digesting reasoning … of thoughts not feasible.
Your concentration then … is beyond what is sought
and not in our nature … in communication’s principle.
