Welcome to Litsy!

Morning read before work

Such a thought-provoking book 👍🏾

“We learn how to listen because we want to learn how to love. We want to learn how to practice hospitality, how to truly welcome people into our lives. We want to be story-hearers and not just storytellers. We want to find the internal quiet and stillness that will open us to being changed. We want to learn how to listen because we want to become more human." Adam S. McHugh, The Listening Life: Embracing Attentiveness in a World of Distraction

"Henri Nouwen's picture of the inner world of 'monkeys jumping up and down in banana trees' was terrifying true during that drive. My monkeys were not just jumping up and down and eating bananas; they were throwing feces and presenting their backsides."

Well, you're going to get that with monkeys. ? Monkeys are the worst.

I've left it to the last minute, but I have finally narrowed down my #tbr for tomorrow's #24in48 #readathon! I may stray from the order a bit (because "Dune" is LENGTHY), but I am a free adult with inalienable rights and I do what I want!
Within reason.
Let's not get crazy.
In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to this so much!

Waking up and reading this. I feel like I learn something every time I pick it up.
