To Listen

I've been accused of not being a good listener on more than one occasion. Oh I want to be a good listener and I try but when it comes down to it my nature is "I'd rather talk than listen" ..... maybe that's why I blog... I'm a work in progress that's why this quote is good words for me and those that are like me.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention ... a loving silence often has way more power to heal and to connect than the most well intended words.
