Circles of Practice with Kathryn Lovewell - #71 - I've Come to Listen

Welcome to Circles of Practice with Kathryn Lovewell!
When was the last time you were quiet and still enough to pay attention to your yourself? When was the last time you really listened to the whispers of your heart?
Join Kathryn’s Circle of Practice meditation, offering you time and space to rest, be still and listen inwardly.
Sometimes we are so hurried, overwhelmed or anxious about getting things wrong, that we forget to tend to ourselves and what we need. Today’s practice invites you to be curious in the spaciousness and ask yourself the quintessential question of Mindful Self-Compassion: “What do I need?”
Jane O’Shea’s poem inspired today’s practice.
I’ve Come To Listen
I’ve come to listen
Even when it’s hard
I’ve still come to listen . . .
Even when I forget and fill the listening with my own words
I’ve still come to listen
Even when I’m unsure of the silence I’ve still come to listen . . .
To listen carefully so my feet can mind the earth
And my heart can hear those hushed voices that bring me back to here
So I can hear past my own thoughts to distinguish you from me
Enough of my words
I’ve come to listen
