Alan Watts:
The art of listening is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.
Charlotte Selver:
The question is not what you do, but how you do it. You can't be in a higher state of being than to be there for something.
And so it is!
