The paradox is that we have this amazing capacity in our minds and hearts to learn and gain insights and then to build a kind of personal storehouse of knowledge. The underside is that those insights harden and fill the spaces in our hearts and minds. They become assumptions, conclusions and judgments.

Keeping a commitment to listening has led me to my own growth, beyond any imagined dreams I may have had throughout the years.
