Opening the Heart

We were sitting this morning, about fifteen friends, the way we sit almost every morning. I asked for help about a problem I was facing and each gave their best. I noticed that even though I encouraged a new comer to say their view, I did not hear them. I judged them and thought they were not referring to me. My heart was close to him. Another friend who was not that articulate, but one whom I have lived for awhile, when he said something, I went straight to the core of my heart - it helped!
I realized that often it is not what is being said, but how it is being heard. It may sound trivial and redundant, but the experience was authentic. 
That's all...
