Open invitation for a Deep Listening 

During a stay in the mountains of Grisons,
I dedicated a Deep Listening to the mountains, 
 
you can practice this deep listening yourself 
and look into your mountains. 
 
 
Mountains 
I believe that if we can let go of our thoughts 
and focus on the mountains in front of us,
we hear other stories than the ones we know. 
 
When we begin
to perceive the mountains in its:
Sounds - with a lot of silence - listening, 
Images - with eyes open - eyes closed, 
Scents - here and there - blown by the wind. 
 
Then perhaps other words awake 
and tell stories.
Long forgotten sounds
are awakened and resound anew, 
Scents that remind 
will be awakened again. 
 
And somewhere in between - 
shifts -
thoughts, perspectives, feelings.
