Deep Listening Awakens Knowledge of the Self

What I know about myself:
when relaxed my sense of hearing is so acute it is possible for me to tell which direction one or two vehicles are coming from.

It is also possible to know what to say to people in an appropriate manner, politely and thinking from a heart filled with love and compassion.

It isn't stupid of me to be inappropriate - those rare times are when I am not centered in love and compassion.

This usually occurs when I am both tired and hungry.

One way of centering myself is to be willing to listen to others, to not impose my view on them, and thus to treat them civilly.

In this way love and compassion is expressed through deep listening.
