“When we haven’t the time to listen to each other’s
stories we seek out experts to teach us how to live. The less time we spend
together at the kitchen table, the more how-to books appear in the stores and
on our bookshelves. Because we have stopped listening to each other, we may
even have forgotten how to listen, stopped learning how to recognize meaning. ”~
Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen
We don’t need experts with Ph. D’s to tell us how to
live wonderful lives. We need only look to each other. Our world abounds with inspiring people -
people who have overcome seemingly impossible difficulties, people who follow their
dreams into uncharted territory, people who rise to incredible heights of achievement
and success.
Inspiring people teach us how to find spiritual fulfillment,
creative expression and deep satisfaction in life. Who feeds your soul with
spiritual food?
Put down the phone. Walk away from the computer. Talk
to one another face to face. More important - listen to each other.
