On listening

I haven't always given listening the attention it deserves and I mean that literally. Too often my ears were present but not my full attention. Which is my loss, because when I've given another human being the honor of quieting my mouth and mind ... when I've waited out the short silences that make me uneasy to hear the thoughts another has been holding inside ... it's then, in these moments I feel true connection.

It's not just me. A December post in the Good and Beyond blog illustrates this truth wonderfully.  >> Read the post, The good listening.
