It can be so hard -- bringing enough of our attention to the person who is talking, when you have other things also calling to you. <br /><br />Speaking of attention-getters, I bought the first book of the Chaos Walking series on your recommendation. And stayed up too late last night reading it!Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-32014900517873417482011-09-09T09:57:08.346-04:002011-09-09T09:57:08.346-04:00Very well said: it takes focus, concentration, and...Very well said: it takes focus, concentration, and heart to listen carefully. It means going beyond one's self and allowing another person to occupy the space of your thoughts.<br /><br />I love the poetry and your sharing. I'm sure your students love you. ;)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-55990025659843914222011-09-09T09:50:20.770-04:002011-09-09T09:50:20.770-04:00Love this post.

Yes... Thank you for this post, for showing how you're celebrating the kind, open words your students say. I think that if we really listen well in conferences and in our days, the people we know will listen to themselves too. Do you know the poem, "Fire" by Judy Brown? I think it goes well with your post for today - http://soulcare.com/BlogRetrieve.aspx?BlogID=1978&PostID=147684 (You always listen so well to all of our posts!!)
