When we listen to a person, we take them into our lives, absorb some of their emotions, and, if we can, welcome them and all their concerns and the openness they care to show.
“Listening,” Henri Nouwen wrote, “is a form of spiritual hospitality by inviting strangers to become friends.”
We aren’t a culture of listeners, primarily talkers. It’s easy to hate people I don’t know and have never spoken to.

Zip IS so royal! I agree with Susan: this is a wonderful photo for notecards. How wonderful is your farm with its smart and beautiful animals. (You and Maria aren’t bad, either.)
Thanks Kaaren
