If I care for you I shall listen to you willingly; I shall listen not only with my ears But also with my heart. I shall listen not only to your words or your thoughts but also to your feelings and experiences; Our level of communication will be very deep. If I care for you, my conversation with you will no more be an exchange of words or dry formality or verbal ping-pong. It will be a deep sharing of ourselves. In this way you release my energies and I release yours; We touch and heal each other; we become more creative in our listening, enriching both the one who speaks and the one who listens.
