Sense And Sense-ability
“Children listen best with their eyes. What you do is what they hear.”
richard Carlson
Final About Listening
This will be the last sharing solely ‘About Listening’. From next week I will be acknowledging and celebrating ‘ sense and sense-ability’.
“The surface of learning is hearing what your ears aren’t prepared to hear, and the core of learning is hearing what your ears don’t want to hear.”
Criss Jani
Good listening is many-layered… listen to the other person, not only to what he is saying, but to what he is.

About Listening
The gift of being a good listener, a gift which requires constant practice, is perhaps the most healing gift anyone can possess. It allows the other to be, enfolds them in a safe place, does not judge or advise them, accepts them as they are without desiring to change them, and communicates support at a level deeper than words.
Gerard Hughes
About Listening
Listening is the highest form of hospitality … Hospitality is not to change people but to offer them space where change can take place.
Henri Nouwen
About Listening
The first service one owes to others in fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

About Listening
Reconciliation requires Dialogue and Dialogue is impossible without listening.

About Listening
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don’t walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end.
