Please. No Fixing, Advising, Saving or Straightening Out

If you want to hear the heart of another, then you need to still your own. Fixing, advising, saving, or straightening out will only stifle the emergence of true wisdom. We need to listen with questions.  Sometimes I want to tell some people to shut up and just listen. They […]
