Listening or listeners

Listen then with soul-hearing now, for that is the mission of the story.*
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

To live in Kairos time, we need to shift the focus from what we do with our time to how we experience each moment – what you might call mindful productivity.**
Anne-Laure Le Cunff

The Ancients thought there were three
levels or paths of listening:
For the mundane and everyday,
For learning and art,
For guidance and for wisdom;
We can listen or we can be a listener –
There’s a difference,
As I’m learning, the latter requiring
presence, engagement, and attunement.
