true listening
In Praise of Listening
Talk is cheap. Listening is rare. True listening is rarer. Listen with your heart. Listen to the sounds being made. Listen to the tone.
Everyone who speaks hopes to say something that will reveal themselves to themselves. Some do not even listen to themselves and what they are saying and what they are meaning to say. Some do not know what they are saying at all.
Listen so that you may understand, and create a bridge of understanding upon which you both may walk.
The listener may be more essential than the speaker.

The Letters from God have helped me to come closer to God. God was always soooo far away, so far that I could not reach Him. But, now, he is everywhere and can be reached from every place. My Joy is endless. Gloria, I would also like to thank your mother and father for bringing you into the world so you can write Heavenletters and so we can connect with the beautiful Love of God that warms our hearts and souls make us cry and rejoice.
