250717 What I learned in my studies this morning 5
Today's Meditation(s):
The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Mindful Communication
If I can overcome my selfish impulses, wrangle my impatience and irritation and focus on the other person, I can give them a gift: true listening.
I would be overjoyed to receive such a gift.
The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Mindful Communication
If I can overcome my selfish impulses, wrangle my impatience and irritation and focus on the other person, I can give them a gift: true listening.
Listening to understand.
Listening to empathize.
Listening to console.
Listening to relieve.
Listening to love.
I would be overjoyed to receive such a gift.
May I practice and learn to give it to those I love.
And even to those I do not.
