Listening to understand

The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.

Stephen R. Covey

Overcast skies allowed for some predawn color on my way to the coffee shop this morning. I stopped in the parking lot at the CSU Women’s Soccer field and took this image. This is a handheld shot at ISO 500 and I used Lightroom Classic denoise in post processing. I met my friend Duane for brunch today and enjoyed the food and conversation. And the conversation is always good because we are both learning to be better listeners.

    Still got a pretty steady hand my friend. I like the purple and orange of this morning sky. Good quote! I hope you have a great day. The storm front that went through here a little earlier today was pretty much nothing of note.

      Thanks, I did have a good day yesterday and today. Plenty of blue sky and sunshine today. I am in for the evening as there will be too many amateurs driving on the road. It looked like you may get two waves of storms so I hope the second one just brought rain.

    I enjoyed our lunch today immensely and agree with your assessment of our ability to learn to listen! Thank you for being my friend!
