A zen master invited him to tea and as the professor spoke, the master poured tea. As the professor kept speaking, the master kept pouring tea until the cup overflowed and the professor finally stopped and remarked "look out, you're spilling all the tea!". The master replied "this is your first lesson in zen. If you are full of pre-conceived ideas about zen, there will be no space left to learn anything at all".<BR/><BR/>So when we're listening to someone and we really want to hear what they have to say, we should be like an empty cup."<BR/><BR/>p.s. going through your journal is like working through a delicious discoverybook, all of ones own.Goddess Leonie * GoddessGuidebook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693407173311647505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14694098.post-1122493166594754722005-07-27T12:39:00.000-07:002005-07-27T12:39:00.000-07:00I must echo those sentiments---you are a patient a...I must echo those sentiments---you are a patient and interested listener. <BR/> As for the debut of that little darlin' you are nestling and nurturing, he is blessed by your fierce love and devotion to him.

I consider you the best listener of all my friends. I feel with you - more than anyone else - that you are truly interested in what I have to say, and you don't mind any moments of silence needed to ponder questions, ideas or experiences. YOU have taught ME to be a better listener, and why it is SO important in a friendship.Swirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657027738991952811noreply@blogger.com
