Freedom to Listen, What I Forgot

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

Ernest Hemingway

Among the three freedoms is freedom to listen. I felt something was missing when I finished it and now I finally figured it out. It’s learning to listen. There’s listening to the lessons that other’s have to offer and then there’s listening to the things that are never said. Both are equally important. There’s so many possibilities that we can only realize when we’re listening to what’s not being said. It’s not just listening with our ears, it’s listening with our eyes, guts, and intelligence.

I feel better now that I’ve finally written it out.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
