In order to listen, we must be silent. It is only after we listen that we can take action and by taking action, we prove that we have listened. What we must listen to doesn't come in storms, earthquakes, fires, or any natural/man-made disasters. It comes in the silence. Not just from the outside, but mainly from within. Are you listening?

We must listen but not remain silent. If things are to change for the positive, we must also remember that the first 4 letters of the word evolve is LOVE in reverse.
