listening skills

Did you know that not all of the senses are equal? For instance, vision will trump hearing. So if you want to hear something better, close your eyes. But if you want to hear something even better than that, open your mouth. Somehow with your mouth open, you hear more.

Yet another tasty morsel from the OL Blog I talked about yesterday. (But I think it helps if you're not speaking while your mouth is open.)



reminder from the heart
The point is that our true nature is not some ideal that we have to live up to. It's who we are right now, and that's what we can make friends with and celebrate.
— Pema Chodron
