“Listening is about being present, not just about being quiet.” Krista Tippett
Connection Words formed my lips to abstraction, departing faintly, hovering gently in the space that is not me, not you, something completely other in the between space of all there is, hoping, waiting, to be taken, received and known, not in the hearing of mere sounds, but in the deep of listening, of knowing a knowing that opens a connection. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

yes to attain that deep heart to heart connection is not easy but ‘active’ listening sure helps! It’s often what’s between the words that counts …
