Listening to take in the other person as a mystery and not a problem.
What a great idea!
We all love a mystery. Listen to yours today. And don't complain, be amazed!

Listening & Observing the Mystery
"Listening is a primary gesture of love." That's how James Olthuis puts it in his wonderful book, The Beautiful Risk. He goes on to say, "Listening gives space. Listening says, "I am available, open, ready to hear your call, eager to meet you and travel with you. Listening with the ears of the heart is to take in the other, not as a problem to solve, but as a mystery to meet." (page 153)
