Listen, Do you want to know a secret?
Welcome to the quote of the Week. This week's theme: Listening!
__________
"Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear. On a hot summer day in the country you can hear the corn growing, the crack of a tin roof buckling under the power of the sun... Or sometime when you're talking up a storm so brilliant, so charming that you can hardly believe how wonderful you are, pause just a moment and listen to yourself. It's good for the soul to hear yourself as others hear you, and next time maybe, just maybe, you will not talk so much, so loudly, so brilliantly, so charmingly, so utterly shamelessly foolishly."
Russell Baker
Commencement Speech, Connecticut College, 1995

“The first duty of love is to listen.”

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!
