660. Quotes: 8

I believe in all my heart that one can listen a soul to health; and, if you were to ask a heart to what purpose, it would smile and listen and hold all, not some, not just the good, but the whole, just listening, healing in non-judgmental attention. For this is the work of hearts.

Quote attributed from Papa to Kyra

Backstory on this chapter:

The quote was actually a Facebook reply from me to my friend Lisa F. Well, my other friend, Lisa P thought so much of the quote she showed it to a writer friend of hers. Then she said the quote deserved to have a life outside of just a replied comment. So, there you have it. Chapter 660. :-)

Thanks Lisa and Lisa and unknown writer dude. :-)

Listening in in the eyes and in is in the heart, it is in touch and it is in embrace, it is in the silence, it is seen, not heard. (Before I forget, to state the fact plainly, your choice of fractals on these last couple of posts have been perfect.) That is to say presence is required, physical presence also (something to ponder the accuracy of, I). This to me is the essence, the very essence of life, or as you have so eloquently worded it For this is the work of hearts. On the one hand so easy thing to give, yet on the other harder to find than it should be, but there is no greater gift, received or given, than an open heart, an embracing, all-embracing (non-judgemental) heart. Papa, as is his way, expressing fundamental truth in most lovely of ways. I believe in all my heart that one can listen a soul to health This may be the single most beautiful thing that you have written here. Prize chapter. Unforgettable.

Again, I hardly know what to say. This quote was just a comment response to Lisa. Really didn't think anymore of it until the other Lisa said it must live a life beyond. I had no intention and had given it no more thought so to see the response is, well, surprising, in a very pleasant way. Thank you for warming my soul, as you have so often done. :-)
