AOC Reprise: Deep Listening

04Mar07

And for the next two days, let’s return to the practice that is the favorite of those who get to be with you:

How do I listen to others?
As if everyone were my most revered Teacher
Speaking to me
His (her) cherished last words.
- Hafiz

Practice #2: With each and every person with whom you speak, bring the deepest and most respectful quality of listening.

Bring to everyone you meet–and yourself–this most wonderful of gifts of loving attention.
