“Listen.  Everything that is worth thinking, doing, or having starts here.  We listen with all our senses – it is the act of stillness, openness, receptivity all at once.  To learn to listen would open the door for understanding, which is the key to compassion, kindness, and peace.  Every single conflict in human history had its origins from a misunderstanding – one that could have been resolved by deep listening from each side.  My mantra is ‘Truly listen.’”
