how much of what we say
is said deliberately?
how much thought goes into the thoughts which come out of our mouths?
do our thoughts have the time to enter our hearts before they are spoken
and set forth for the world to hear?

how much of what we read
was written deliberately?
with much less thought of how many will sell
or of who will think us sarcastic or funny
and much more thought of this i know to be true ?

how much of what we listen to
was composed deliberately?
not some mediocre jumble of the same four chords
with a terrible knack for saying what's already been said
4000 times over
nor some multi-platinum 3.5 minutes that achieved a well-known's acclaim
nor even some emotional tease with a short-lived incessancy
but a musical thought
developed
inspired
given time to become an intricate creation ?

how much of what we do
is done deliberately?
not some habit or duty or privilege or rut
but a chosen path
based on previous thought
by proper means
for an ultimate purpose?

how much of what we read and listen to

becomes a steady diet of accurate truths

which spurs us on to greater consideration

which in turn develops our thoughts and forms our ideals

which produce deliberate words and deeds?

how much we would benefit
if we'd take the time
to be deliberate
to think deliberately
to deliberate over what we see and hear and read
to deliberate [v.] more
and to speak, do, and live more deliberately.
