Kitchen Table Wisdom




  

"Life offers its wisdom generously. Everything teaches. Not everyone learns."

"From a good teacher you may learn the secret of listening. You will never learn the secret of life. You will have to listen for yourself"
"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. "

Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. when you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul."
