217/499 … Listening to listening (10/08/08)
“Babbling without listening
is like sex without adoration,
is like thinking without being present,
is like praying without humility,
is like ‘intimacy’ without sacrificing the ego,
is like pleasure without Peace —
… all meaningless wastes
of our lives priceless moments,
and the ability we have been given
to enLiven them.”
