Just listen

  I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.Just listen.Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our   1  , and especially if it’s given from the   2  .When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but   3   them.Just take them   4  .Listen to what they’re saying.Care about it.Most times caring about it is even more important than   5   it.

  One of my patients told me that when she   6   to tell her story, people often   7   to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her.Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves.  8   she stopped talking to most people.It was just too   9  .We connect through listening.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand.we move the   10   of attention to ourselves.But when we listen, they know we care.

  I have ever learned to   11   to someone crying by just listening.in the old days I used to reach for the tissues(紙巾)  12   I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them   13  , to take them out of their   14   of sadness and pain Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there   15   them.

  This   16   thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been   17   since I was very young at school.I thought people listened only because they were too   18   to speak or did not know the answer.A loving silence often has far more   19   to connect than the most well-intentioned   20

Serious Business

  Let me take you   1   a couple of years.Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and   2   me yet.

  We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware store.No automatic door, not a computer in the building.It was one that I went to fairly often.As we entered the door, two sounds   3   us.The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door.The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our   4  

  "Good afternoon, Ryan,"  5   the cheerful greeting.Andy was a very   6   sort of owner.He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.

  We walked across the old wood floor.Andy asked us what he could help us with.I told him we were   7   a spring.He very patiently replied, "I have lots of springs.You're going to need to be more   8  ."

  "Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door."

  "That's it.A screen door spring.Right down there." We   9   where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were.Andy knew his store, and his products.That was why I came here instead of Meijer.The service couldn't be beaten.The price-Yes.But service and   10  -No.

  I picked up one and followed him to the   11  

  He   12   the price, doing the math in his head."$1.88, with tax:comes to $1.99."

  He nodded and smiled, "Good dad's account." He laughed."I don't know what you boys would do   13   dad's account!"

  He handed me the ticket and as I   14   it I asked, "You really trust my signature?"

  His reply surprised,   15   delighted, me."When I can't trust Jerry Hoover's boys I can trust nobody!"

  We left, and the brain   16   started to forget things, in order of importance.But what Andy said that day rang in my ears.And it rings in my ears today.That's a tall order to live up.to.It's a high standard of   17  .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to   18   the benefits.But on account of this, I must   19   that fame.And that's   20   business.

Unchangeable Love

  One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.I was expecting a quiet   1   of the splendid artwork.

  I met them several times as I moved   7   the various rooms of art.Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away   8

  "He's a   14   man." the clerk at the counter said."Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn't change.

  So, as before, he and his wife come in   15   there is a new art show."

  "But what does he get out of the art?" I asked."He can't see."

  "Can't see! You're   16  .He sees a lot.More than you and I do," the clerk said."His wife   17   each painting so he can see it in his head."

  I learned something about patience,   18   and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without   19   and the courage of a husband who would not   20   blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, hand in hand.
