"Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering." - Winnie the Pooh
Each day listening offers us an invisible path to our desires and goals - whether it's the music of the environment around us or the sound track of our own thoughts. Listening is the homing device by which our soul directs us.
Nothing is more personal than how we listen. We each remember places and people differently because of our auditory acuity, or how well we listened to our environment.
"The word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent'.” - Alfred Brendel
