After reading Kayla’s homily on doing what is ours to do, I was drawn to Mark Nepo’s book, Seven Thousand Ways to Listen: Staying Close to What is Sacred (Simon and Schuster, 2012). Not only are his observations fresh and experiential, but they arise from his physical suffering. I take this book in small bites, spending a week or more on each chapter.

“Sooner or later we are shown that life is one ongoing conversation. And none of what matters reveals itself unless we stop to listen. In this way, listening becomes a partnership by which we listen and converse with everything.”
–Mark Nepo, Seven Thousand Ways to Listen
