It’s fine to look backwards sometimes but who wants to spend their days stewing on what was? The time is now, life is now. All possibilities exist in the great unknown yawning out before us. But looking back I don’t think I was ever a great listener. I was always too occupied by my own inner world which for a long time was considerably noisier and more demanding that it is now. You notice much more when your mind is quieter. There’s more space for listening and curious receptivity. A quieter mind imposes less on your attention. You feel lighter and more spacious. I miss less of what others are sharing with me now. I’m more available, receptive and responsive. And I’m grateful for that. Because when I do look back at how I used to be, I see how oblivious I was to so much.
