This photo speaks to me of the gift of the listening presence, that we can offer to each other! It communicates attentiveness with openness and delight!
We listen to receive and to bless the our person with our acceptance and affirmation.
The art of listening is turning and tuning towards the other person. There is no compulsion to speak or pressure to be ready with wit and wisdom as a response. Listening is active by feeling with the other person and sensing the inner world from where a person is reaching out.
In listening we receive the gift a person is offering; the gift and the giver become a link in our learning journey!
