A Call to Truly Listen
Developing the listening heart takes being committed to listening and understanding the effort it takes.
Being in silence is a form of listening purposely.
Thanks Elaine—the twin virtues of solitude and silence are surely an excellent foundation for the discipline of listening.
Yes - the din is hard to hear over but we need to train our ears…
The old adage of ‘practice makes perfect’ reminds us of the importance of training our ears to listen well.
So true, we are inundated with surround sound noise, eking out 'quiet and listening' is the challenge of this generation.
Thanks Lorraine for sharing. Your words remind me of Van Morrison’s lyrics, ‘So quiet in here, so peaceful in here, so quiet in here, you can hear, it’s so quiet—a noble aspiration for us all.
