May your reputation be of one who is willing to listen.May the patience for hearing be long and up to the task.
May those who come with a story to you anticipate a willingness that enhances their ability to get to the point.
May those who matter most know in their heart of hearts they have been heard upon gazing into your eyes.
May your listening enrich your life. May you find that contrary to the maxim "less is more" in listening "more becomes great gain."
May the depth of silence offered in listening bring honor to that which is being heard.
May listening return its most loving gift as ear rests upon chest of the beloved in gracious repose.

As long as one person isn't doing all the talking.
listening is a special gift. its good to take the time to remember that...
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
"A child's voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who've forgotten how to listen."
Dumbledore from Harry Potter and the Prisonor of Azcaban
so beautifully written. i wish more people would abide by, "May you find that contrary to the maxim "less is more" in listening "more becomes great gain." and i loved your last line, "May listening return its most loving gift as ear rests upon chest of the beloved in gracious repose."
Oh yes it may... I love to read and hear your sweet words...;)
Always good to be around someone who really LISTENS and not just HEARS. Thanks for reminding me :)
