> listening is more interesting to me as a beginning than as an end. Listen deeply enough, and the act becomes more than a collection of impressions. It can instead demonstrate a world with far more participants, and participation, than you had ever before imagined. It is the door to a dialogue between earthly entities. And it opens onto a world that I personally find far less lonely.
