Are You Listening?
Really listening to another is an incredible skill… it’s almost magical.  When we listen to another, we are not only giving them the gift of our whole-hearted attention, we are also taming the ego-driven addiction of impatiently waiting for OUR turn to speak.  When the Buddha spoke about Right Speech, he was including both sides of the communication equation; skillful means of intentional speech as well as intentional listening to others.  Intentionally listening also means listening to ourselves, to our own innate wisdom which we often ignore. Skillful Listening is a mindful practice that changes attitudes and beliefs as well as enhances empathy and community.  It is a great gift to bring into this New Year… for ourselves, our friends, and to those with whom we disagree.
