Listening carefully


 
There is an art to being a good listener...
to listen not only with your ears,
but with your heart.
 
How closely do you listen to yourself,
paying attention to those inner cues...
that tell you right from wrong?
 
Listening to God is also an art...
hearing your inner wisdom...
or when God speaks to you through others..

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to  turn a life around.”

―Leo Buscaglia
