Why Listen?

Because true kinship can easily get lost in the everyday chaos and distractions in which we live.

How Can We Minimize That?

• By focusing on our senses. Let's start with listening.

• Listen to and hear what is going on around you. Name 5 sounds you hear.

• Listening is not talking.

• LISTENING IS NOT TALKING! I repeated that because it's extremely crucial you are cognizant of that important point.

• Listening is a willingness to be silent.

• Listening is being in the present.

• Listening is not projecting you wants, needs, ideas, thoughts.

• Listening is waiting with the mystery, ready for it to unfold.

Your turn, tell me what you're listening to right now.
