I was listening to Buddhist teacher Adyashanti the other day and he spoke of just listening. I realized then that mindfulness style meditation was exactly that. And that we could move through life in general noticing when we’re “speaking” in the form of our mental chatter, and noticing when we are actually listening to life. Mostly it has just caused me to notice how much mental chatter I really have. LOL. But there is still this strengthened intention to actually listen to the silence between all sounds, even my own inner dialog.
