Thanks, Brooks. Quieting the chatter of my mind is essential for me in listening. Yet, I am continuously faced with the noise of my thoughts. Quiet is not the elimination of sound but not allowing the thoughts to pull me into a commentary in my head and rake me from living in the present. And, it is all about practice.

Nice calming black and white photo, Monte. Listening is often one of the most important but hardest things to learn to do regularly…at least for me!

Quiet is not the same as silence, and vice versa. Always find time to listen to the muse.

Yes!
