LNP 289 The Art of Listening

It was a beautiful South Florida day – clear skies, light wind. Our older son, who lives in India, was staying with us for a few precious days. As I thought about the fun things I could do with him while he was here, I decided to arrange for us to go sailing. I’d never been on a sail boat and thought it would be a treat for both of us. What I did not expect was the amount of time I spent listening.

The captain took us into a beautiful unspoiled harbor. We were on the only boat in the harbor and had freedom to go where we wanted. Shortly after we left the dock the captain started talking, and talking, and talking. And we kept listening.
