They brought to him a man who was deaf.
And had a speech impediment.
Are we in practice deaf.
As we try always to be relevant.

Jesus listened.
He said, Ephphatha.
That is be opened.
Are we listening to Ephphatha.

Are we deaf.
Can we not talk.
First we must listen or are we spiritually deaf.
Then we can with reason talk.

We just need to listen.
And not to hasten.

…..

Are we listeners.
Or do we start talking first

The first is better
