There is an art to listening a special detection of the silent screams that plague the heart and mind of the people that make up our world. A quiet way of relating of touching the feelings of another whose broken edges may be scraping away at their self. This art, the art of listening can't be learned or taught, but only mastered along with the ability to walk the life another's shoes may tread Few I know, but many I love listen as I scream and my story somehow in the din is heard.

  (big hugggsssssss) Oh yes, yes, I believe listening is the most important sense of all, and listening is not only important by ear but also to the heart and if we listen we are bound to find much more happiness and trust amongst our peers! (sigh) This is powerful wisdom, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Now see, there is the difference between people... some are screamers, and some...whisper and I find whispering just draws them closer, because if they really want to know, they will lean forward... otherwise, what I have to say wasn't meant for their ears after all... thank you for this, White Rose... |

Seeing is as important as listening.Pay attention to body language.People say a lot with facial expressions.The eyes are truely the window of the soul.We learn more when we listen than when we speak. paladin |

I truly enjoyed this poem, Anne... I think listening is an important skill which has been terribly underrated. It should probably be taught in a class somewhere...right along with assertiveness training. Keep posting...and I will look for more of your work.  ~ hugs from a chipmunkLyra |
