Jeffrey, I so appreciate the language you use re: supervision. As we know, as a reader I interpret and take away what speaks to me…my ‘ear’ only hears what it wants to hear! So, as I planned to focus on spiritual direction supervision and my upcoming classes and curriculum today, instead I pause to absorb your words. This pause will serve me well. May it also serve my students well as it nourishes the teachings I hope to offer. May it be so.
Joan, many thanks for pausing to both read my words and to share this insight about how we hear what we want to hear. This can extend to our seeing what we want to see and so on, and speaks to our own assumptions and how they often preclude opportunities to deepen into knowledge and relationship. Such a helpful way of noticing all this, and many thanks again.

Thank you, dear friend and colleague!
