“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.”
-Karl A. Menniger

While in Cville, I caught up with friends and of course, food.

Hello Ten. This is real Kobe beef. Usually not one for red meat, this drool-worthy dish made an exception. Words actually fail me. Mouth watering and salaciously flavored to perfection.

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin’ brings
But the heart has its seasons, its evenins and songs of its own

From California to Virginia, photo shoots and dinners, adventures take the front seat.

If you get confused just listen to the music play.
-The Dead

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”
-Stephen R. Covey

Patience.

Witness the dialogue.

The less you speak, the more you’re liked.

Weird, huh? Often times, letting the other person shape the conversation gives you more knowledge on the matter at hand and about the person in dialogue too. Sometimes you learn a thing or two about yourself too.
