QwotPost

I am starting a new series: QwotPost. I enjoy quotes, and so I plan to share some with you as they relate to my core values. Short posts... enjoy!

What it truly means to Listen:

"I hear the words, the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning, even the meaning that is below the conscious intent of the speaker. Sometimes too, in a message which superficially is not very important, I hear a deep human cry that lies buried and unknown far below the surface of the person.
So I have learned to ask myself, can I hear the sounds and sense the shape of this other person's inner world? Can I resonate to what he is saying so deeply that I sense the meanings he is afraid of, yet would like to communicate, as well as those he knows?"
-Carl R. Rogers, Experiences in Communication
