quite magical

A week on from the The Story, I thought I'd respond to the requests I've had with a fuller 17 minute version of my conversation with Stephen on listening, in which we talk about freedom, space and silence.

Stephen is one of the gentlest people I know. And his capacity to describe what listening feels like, what it creates and what it gives others is as natural as it is articulate.

Our conversation took place one evening before supper at the second Round Table I ran in France. It's a modest but - for me at least - a rather special conversation. And I'd like to dedicate it to everyone who's ever listened to me.

Really listened.

Here it is to download.
