The Listenary

My happiest friendships are with those who understood this as a powerful way to be with someone and wanted a partner in listening. Melody partnered with me from the beginning. We made a commitment to be listeners together in this way. We have experimented and learned together through the years. We have grown. She will soon have her own clinic as a medical doctor and she claims that her success is in part due to our work together begun when she was still in pre-med studies. Of course, the kudos go both directions.

Taking turns builds the capacity of both to listen better.
