I loved reading this storied article about listening and care. Even reading about listening, sharing and your comments reinforced a sense that it is what I can do.. it is the antidote to the insulating speed and violence we are living with that obliterates the intelliigence of listening that is the road to compassion. thank you very much. I am a storyteller working often in troubling situations, and have also come to the conclusion that the essence of sharing is listening and the important practice is to become aware of the difference between listening and hearing what you want to hear, or fearing as you say to listen.
