Pip the mouse sits among the roots of an old oak tree, listening to the forest around him. A squirrel named Hazel is nearby, looking lost but hopeful. Colour the leaves green, the tree brown, and the sky a soft golden light. Imagine the quiet moment before the sound returns.
Go for a short walk — even just to the end of the garden or down the hallway. Close your eyes for a few moments and listen.
What do you hear? A bird? A car? A distant voice? The hum of a fridge?
Draw or write down three sounds you notice. They do not have to be big — just real.
“When has someone really listened to you — and how did it make you feel?”
Let your thoughts wander — there is no wrong answer.
“I know that sometimes the smallest presence holds the most attention. And attention, when held gently, can guide us home.”
Write your name and the date — and keep it as a reminder that listening is a quiet kind of love.
