I take no credit, because it was watching him that I learned to listen and to teach. Now I value deeply the ability he has to allow himself to be raised by a village and have benefited myself from the village he picked. I love your post! and wholeheartedly agree!Sarah, Grand-Dutchess of Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907488130598696020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300157445223310771.post-52382120607574286162009-03-03T20:32:00.000-08:002009-03-03T20:32:00.000-08:00that film Red Gold was beautifully done. best one ...that film Red Gold was beautifully done. best one for sure. (I mean, how many ski films do we need to see?) -- as a kid who always wanted to be with adults, (and I still at times find I don't quite belong where I wish I could be), I can say that those relationships were the most valuable to me. my parents also encouraged and loved having me around when they were with their friends. Many of whom listened to me and treated me like a real person, without condescension. Of course now mom and dad and I share a lot of friends, which is kind of... frustrating at times. Can't win 'em all I guess.

The thoughts regarding listening are so accurate. I have never considered them from this perspective before but I can see these ideas play out in my classroom sometimes. I once heard a statement that went along the lines of, "We don't listen because of what the person has to say, we listen because of the person who is speaking." It is worth considering. Hopefully, we hear all of the people that talk to us, but there are a select few that most of us actually "listen" to. What makes a person worth listening to and then how can we become more like that in our own lives?Dave Conroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296136778457221587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300157445223310771.post-75053090410931349232009-03-02T17:52:00.000-08:002009-03-02T17:52:00.000-08:00i believe you are on to something.
