  • Listening

    Reflecting upon O'Donohue's quotation about the human soul's longing to be seen, it is equally important to consider the human soul's need to be heard. As Karl A. Menninger says, "Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand."

     

    Whether as a family member, friend, or human being in any personal or professional role, there is immense therapeutic power in the capacity to listen. Just listen. Nothing is harder. Or more profound. It costs nothing. It gives much. Between each word, between each sentence, there is the silence. This is the gap where the love and the light get in. The connection is deeper and more transcendent than just the twist or tumble of words. As Leonardo da Vinci said, "The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding." Empathize. Encourage. But most importantly...

     

    Listen.

    ~

    “One thing that's tough with your profession is when you do your job well, people don't come back, because they don't need to, because things got better. It's not a good business model but it certainly serves in a wonderfully positive way that I can only imagine the universe will bless you for doing such work.“

    ~
