We are mentored by our favourite screen faces, which do everything so loudly, cleverly and colourfully that we lose our ability to hear, and become conversationally deaf. You notice it when you have stumbled on a great idea and try telling someone about it but within moments they have changed the subject and are talking about something else, probably themselves. You quietly realise that they were not listening at all—at least not hearing. Love is not like that, it is so interested in others that it is ingenious at entering into the speaker’s inner world and allowing itself to be immersed in their imagination and thoughts. Soon it is asking questions—real ones—not just contrived ‘showing an interest’ questions. This person has seen what it is that made you so excited.

yeah this is a good reminder. Being down in melbourne uni and reflecting on conversations about what it was that left people with gratitude for the time we spent with them…taking a real interest was key. It seems to me that when we are doing this well with people often things like a challenge or disagreement with a person moves beyond the place of a fight over ideas ‘out there’ and the real place of responding to truth begins to happen. Thanks as well for your gospel tool card with the prayer on it. It was good to offer it to a guy who was wondering if he would risk re-opening the conversation with God that had been left behind from his youth camp days.
That’s great Ben. St. Columba’s life proverb was, ‘Amor non tenet ordinem’ (love knows nothing of order), which is one of the hallmarks of conversation, and we love! it.
