Sotto voce.

Hush, for if you’re listening

you will hear the voice within,

Look, for if you’re watching

you will see the signs appearing,

Pause, for when waters are slowing

a whole picture starts emerging,

So, if you’re quiet,

calm and

you pray,

you may hear empyrean whispers

sotto voce.

Cigarette Smoke

She put out her cigarette and I watched in wonder as the thin trail of smoke flaoted up into the air and slowly disperssed. She told me she would quit smoking but thats okay I know shes stressed, thats why she yells at me so much and why I got hit yesterday. My eye may look bad now but its okay, because when she hugs me and kisses me and tells me she loves me i know that shes back to her old self. The woman that i married, i can see it in her eyes and feel it when she cups my face gently before she leaves for a week with her friends. It doesn’t matter what others see i know her and she knows me.

The quote made my brain spin just trying to understand and process how it read, let alone understand what it means...

It's an interesting quote, although I'm not sure how to utilize this new piece of data. I like the idea of knowing what the signs are when they reveal their presence, but I have a hard time "trusting the process" so to speak. I find it difficult to trust my judgement when it comes to anticipating something because of my fear of misunderstanding situations. This is what I get for being hyper aware of everything. :P I do believe there is some truth to the idea of being able to detect and recognize signs, whether they be tied to faith or even a shot in the dark. I am reminded of this documentary I saw on Amazon Prime Video called Hellier and a recurring theme was that of synchronicities, which are interpreted as coincidences that are so specific they can't be just a coincidence. The main idea behind synchronicities is that they seem to manifest themselves more and more often as you dig deeper into something, especially something that cannot be easily explained without touching into higher entities, divine beings and the supernatural world, hence why they are often interpreted as signs from the universe that are guiding you closer and closer to the answers you seek.
