I have been there… mostly 1 and 2 for a long time…. The 3rd level of empathetic listening is harder than it seems. Even if you feel sometimes we often get into 2nd level due to the surface or words or tone of our interactions. It’s a skill to learn. The 4th level of listening I have usually found in spiritual talks… to be able to flow the conversations on 3rd and 4th level definitely requires a lot of mastery

I try to find wonder each day. I feel alive if I find wonder each day but that’s true it doesn’t happen everyday. Today I was wonderstruck, I was a lil cold feeling bit under the weather and on my morning walk and the first thing that I saw was tiny grass under a tree vibrating in patterns with the wind. I felt as if they have happy, they were dancing and I just couldn’t stop looking at it for minutes. I captured it as well on my phone and it made my day a lil better and charged up.

For me faithfulness is in being true to yourself and following your heart. To never loose the spirit and move into your hearts knowing. Life at times challenges us, questions us through the environment around us but we need to have that trust and faithfulness to not get distracted. As a human, I got distracted and lost my faithfulness during 3rd decade of my life only to feel if you miss the faithfulness you miss life in itself. And when it goes overboard life in itself like nature has this superpower of repairing itself like a self healing mechanism. So I saw the 4th decade on my journey full of repairs by itself and this whole experience and reflection has made me all the more humbler and mindful to bless the life around me and within me. I am in love with life.
