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 far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

Very wise words. I think we sometimes forget that communication is a two-way task.

thanks for asking...i'm not really sure how to put it into words...there's so much going on and i almost feel like i'm drowning in the 'everything i need to do's...and i feel empty and uncreative...blah...
That was really nice to read! Thank you for a wonderful reminder!
When my sixteen year old starts talking, I will just listen!
Have a beautiful day!
