How Silent and Listen Go Hand in Hand

I just realized by reading the post ‘Listening Skills Need Exercise‘ that ‘Silent’ is the anagram of ‘Listen’ in English. This is actually quite a powerful statement.

I am a great believer in the power of active listening. And this requires an absolute openness.

“Only when we’re able to quiet what is going on in our head we can truly listen.” Active listening is powerful as a change agent, and it requires a discipline and a practice from the listener.

Silence can be more full and powerful than noise, in particular obviously than random noise.

Inner and outer silence is the key to real listening and change.
