"And Started Listening." And that's what it's all about, isn't it? Whether in therapy, relationships, or with self love. So often we either can't stop talking or can't stop reacting, but we do precious little focused listening. Thank you for sharing this article and the poem, which I had never encountered before but am deeply touched by. I wish you profound acceptance of yourself as you continue on your journey.
