Too Loud



Driving down the street, a nice instrumental tune on the radio, window open, I pull up next to a car at a light. As I approach, the music becomes much more full, enveloping me in its beauty.

The convertible next to me has the radio tuned to the same station, but very loud, and I realize the stereo effect of two car radios enhances my pleasure. I know a synergy, of more than just two radios being merely louder.

I shout "Wow, now that's stereo" to the other driver. But she can't hear me. Her radio is too loud, and all of her attention is on the sound.

I realize that, though we are listening the same, our experience is different. I am experiencing Love, and sharing, and I know at-one-ment because of the experience, and I am full and complete.

She is alone, and separate, lost in her little world, unable to feel the love and oneness. Yes, she hears the same song, but is caught up in the medium and can't hear the message.

And I know, that is how we are, here in a body, on earth. Our radios are too loud, and we can't hear, and feel, as I did, that we are in Heaven, too.
