Pastoral Resources

Indeed - judicious, consistent parenting is a dream of mine. No judgements, learning space and listening carefully are my goals.

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.

I spent many a summer early morning with the radio very low, half sleeping and half listening.

I like to listen to mellow stuff on the road like Travis, as we are constantly surrounded by rock music on tour and so its nice listening to mellow stuff. Obviously back at home I listen to a lot more rock music.

John Coltrane - I've been listening to the 'Trane again. It blows you away, because I know more now and I hear more now and I had a life that I've lived!

Lately I've been listening to some classical music again, some jazz.

The big secret in acting is listening to people.

But nobody is listening to those points. They are just listening to the gossip which is saying that I knew I was positive for all these years because I had a faked test a few years ago.

It's a major part of world history that men are trying to kill each other. It's just one slaughter after the other. We talk about it, but no one's really listening.

I enjoy listening to opera at home, occasionally, but I would much rather see it than just listen to it.

I've got to start listening to those quiet, nagging doubts.

In 1972, I got my first electric bass and started playing the kind of instrument I play now. I found that the majority of musicians couldn't bear that. They are not used to listening to the bass because they think the bass is in the background to support them.

Difficult as it is really to listen to someone in affliction, it is just as difficult for him to know that compassion is listening to him.

You can't fake listening. It shows.

Reading music is like listening to flowers. I don't understand the concept.

Listening moves us closer, it helps us become more whole, more healthy, more holy. Not listening creates fragmentation, and fragmentation is the root of all suffering.

Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don't have to do anything else. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.

There are many benefits to this process of listening. The first is that good listeners are created as people feel listened to. Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

It's hard listening to myself.
