Learning to listen
"Must one first batter their ears, that they may learn to hear with their eyes? Must one clatter like kettledrums and penitential preachers? Or do they only believe the stammerer?"
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus spoke Zarathustra (source)
Sometimes I use my eyes to listen people, not only my ears. I observe their body language, their gestures, their eyes and usually this talk to me more than their words.
I hope to never lose the capacity to listen people and situations. ;)
Happy Monday

And, believe me, sometimes the best way to listen to someone is just by observation. Let's free our minds, listen and be listened in all respect we can! Good morning dear @silviabeneforti!
Thank you for posting @silviabeneforti.
Yes.....expressions of the soul....the vocal and the physical.....and if they do not correlate.....we are left with something to ponder....are we not? Listening...a great asset for anyone to have.
Wishing you and yours all the best. Cheers.
Thanks for your words, @bleujay , all the best to you too ^_^
@silviabeneforti - it's a skill ;)
many of us are having a hard time learning but a very useful skill
you are right on this part - the eyes hear what the ears miss indeed!
