"One of the easiest human acts is also the most healing.
Listening to someone. Simply listening.
Not advising or coaching,
but silently and fully listening."

Margaret Wheatley

Here's another one:

"For listening is the act of entering the skin of the other and wearing
it for a time as if it were our own."

I get daily inspirational quotes from www.wellforthejourney.com. Lately, they've all had to do with listening. I'm totally enjoying them because I've been focusing on that lately.

When God speaks to you, is it a feeling deep down in your soul?
Can you describe hearing from GOD? I heard even preachers say
it was not actual verbage but a feeling of confirmation. What
say you?

It's both for me. Sometimes it's a feeling of affirmation. Other times I hear words and actually converse. What shocks me is that He is never unkind. He may tell me things I don't want to hear, but He does it beautifully. A great example for communicating.

Dotsie,
Now that got my attention. You hear words and actually converse.
I never thought that possible. I'm amazed. Whatever you have, wish I could capture. Has it always been that way for you,
or is it a recent thing? Do you consider yourself deeply religious? As you can tell, and I've stated before, I'm searching. I feel like I've been beaten to a pulp the past couple of years. And I'm trying to pick myself up and get glued back together!
