I mean, I frequently hear this topic discussed, and think to my self, yeh I am a pretty good listner, at least I like to think that I am. After, all I did get a college degree in speech communications. Is there some right of passage there? I'd like to think so. However, if I am to sit for a moment and contemplate am I truly a good listner I come up with this: yes and no, it depends the state of my cup. You know my tea cup... is it full, like run-ith-over or is it half empty. It is in this self analysis that I can summons my immediate listening skills. For when my cup is empty I find I listen very poorly, like Vicki says I am drifting off or thinking of what I may say next to make me feel good or even make me look like a good lisener! Yet, when I am over flowing with self love and acceptance, it is in that delicious place that I yearn to ask the selfless questions that Vicki shared. Where I feel that I am so in the moment drawing someone out not for my agenda, but for the simple sake of connection and sharing the love that results when we are present for one another.
