October theme : Deep Listening

Our theme for services and events this month is 'Deep Listening'. Here, we share some inspiring words of wisdom and some questions to give you food for thought.

Words of Wisdom

'A human life is a story told by God and in the best of stories told by humans, we come closer to God.' Hans Christian Anderson

'We are strangers only until we hear each other's stories.' Anon

‘Still yourself and listen and soon, in time, the Mystery will begin to speak to you, through its thousand disguises as life on Earth.’ Mark Nepo

Questions for Reflection

1. What type of people do you have the hardest time listening to?

2. How have your wounds and losses altered the way you listen?

3. How good are you at listening compassionately to yourself?
