“You know exactly what I mean,” I said. “I hear you playing the harp,
but you're standing right here in front of me. How do you explain

silly boy. I'm not playing the harp. What you are hearing are the 
hummingbirds behind you.” 

Then she laughed a lot more. 

I cautiously looked behind me and there at the hummingbird feeder were
three hummingbirds doing their humming thing. It sounded like music to 
me. 

It finally came together for me. Being in such a complex situation is
most embarrassing, and I didn't quite know how to escape it. 

“Maybe,” I said, looking at her, “you could teach these hummingbirds the
words of the song so they wouldn't have to hum all the time.” 

“Or, maybe,” she countered, “you could learn the difference between a
harp and a hummingbird.” 

I threw a sarcastic smile at her because I had nothing else to say,
which was not the first time this happened. 

Wallowing in my grief, I happen to think of what King Solomon wrote.
Proverbs 20:12, “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath 
made even both of them.” 

According to God's word, the ear and the eye work together. If I only
rely upon my ear, I probably am not hearing the right thing.
