Sitting and Listening
“Even when I’m writing, sitting and listening to what’s hard to hear… sometimes it’s the natural world, you know? What happens when those birds are singing and they actually help you hear a thought of your own that you haven’t attended to? So those are aspects of the practice, which more and more as I grow, becomes a kind of a form of meditation, and dialogue. Hopefully, with a consciousness that is not merely my own”
