Love Begins With Listening.

More And More I've Come To Understand That Listening Is One Of The Most Important Things We Can Do For One Another. Whether The Other Be An Adult Or A Child, Our Engagement In Listening To Who That Person Is Can Often Be Our Greatest Gift. Whether That Person Is Speaking Or Playing Or Dancing, Building Or Singing Or Painting, If We Care, We Can Listen.

The Greatest Gift You Ever Give Is Your Honest Self.

I've Often Hesitated In Beginning A Project Because I've Thought, 'it'll Never Turn Out To Be Even Remotely Like The Good Idea I Have As I Start.' I Could Just 'feel' How Good It Could Be. But I Decided That, For The Present, I Would Create The Best Way I Know How And Accept The Ambiguities.

It's Not Always Easy For A Father To Understand The Interests And Ways Of His Son. It Seems The Songs Of Our Children May Be In Keys We've Never Tried. The Melody Of Each Generation Emerges From All That's Gone Before. Each One Of Us Contributes In Some Unique Way To The Composition Of Life.
