The essence of dialogue
is to listen well.
Being heard, explicitly
promotes implicit communion.
Listening nurtures our story
and opens our eyes.
Listening sustains our being
and bridges our souls.
To listen well chooses life…
To give our ear finds love…
To take in another’s Word –
initiates wholeness.
Being quiet attunes the soul.
To affirm by listening
creates a forum
for the sounds of silence.
To listen with another’s ear
is a consummate grace.
Lobe to lobe is an intimate act
that hears what is heard.

'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called
me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so
smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
