More and more, I think this is true. We need to be in relationship in this world with others and the world we live in.

This is so true. In fact, just last night, my daughter was talking about how nice it is to be able to share her thoughts and feelings with someone who actually listened to her in silence, rather than interrupting her and offering her advice she never asked for and didn’t want. This post seems to be in agreement with her, and I think that is awesome. It resonates very deeply with me, too – on several different levels. Thank you for sharing it, Ivon.
You are welcome Holly.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünschen wir.
Gruß, Wolfgang
I am sure everyone needs a listening ear at some point in life.
I know I do more than just occasionally.
I know I agree with that statement.
Just beautiful Ivon no more words needed…!
So true – sometimes our greatest gift is merely being present
It is so important in our lives and the lives of others.
Yes..absolutely.Understanding is much more valuable than giving advice because in order to understand you need to have the emotional intelligence to put yourself in their shoes and sadly ,that remains unachievable.
Well said Swati.
