Show Notes
On the practice of patience, Rev. Patrick explores empathy as opposed to sympathy. Empathy is the fostering of connection with another. It is identifying with the emotional nature of the other.
We can practice deep listening, which is listening with compassion, to help reduce the suffering of another's heart. By deep listening, we create the space that allows the other to pour out their heart. The power is in being present with the other.
