"When you listen deeply, you help people suffer less." - Thích Nhất Hạnh
We all appreciate and need a true listener. Someone who will offer a nonjudgmental listening ear. When we open our hearts, we do not ask to be fixed. We ask for kindness, understanding, and compassion.
"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our darkness well, can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity." - Pema Chödrön
Compassion allows us to feel our connectedness, it allows us to feel our unity. We are one.
Let us listen with a soft heart and an open mind. Let us be a safe place for anyone to share their vulnerability.
