Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.

So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.

Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable.

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers.
