Listening With Your Heart

Listening With Your Heart

Real love listens, knowing that it is in the mystery of exchange that we are bonded and that such an exchange occurs not only through what is said, but through what is profoundly received. Speaking is done through the mouth, but listening is done with the heart where meanings sink in like a stone in a pond, leaving an imprint at the deepest level.
Take the opportunity of this day to really listen to someone close to you. For while we may be relieved when we speak – delivered of the burden of information or feelings that we have been carrying in solitude – we are transformed when we listen. The stone that falls to the bottom of the pond when we listen impinges on our souls, requiring that we make room in our hearts to feel the imprint of the essence of another human being.
Daphne Rose Kingma: A Garland of Love

Listening with our hearts is truly transformative, we just need to take the time and focus. Drop your own stories for a while and let yourself be touched by another human being.

( Impinge = have an effect )
