Trying to heal ourselves by helping others works,
even when it is an insincere gesture.
Try it some time.
If you really listen to (not just hear) what is being said,
you may find the person talking
has quietly slipped inside your head
and seems to be describing the landscape there --
the shifting shapes of nameless fears,
the color and chill of impending doom --
if not the actual events and words stored in your brain.

Thought to Ponder....

Learn to listen; listen to learn.
