To listen is the first step to wisdom. In listening, we engage our whole being: our senses, our memory, our mind. Without the discipline of listening, life passes by without us realizing it. We go from one experience to another in a very superficial way. We commit the same mistakes, not because of human weakness but because we haven't identified the lessons our experiences teach us. We become like ship tossed to and fro by the wind because we don't have something solid that holds us.
Lord, give me the gift of listening in openness, humility and truth.
