THE INVITATION

Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for and if
you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing…

The Legend of Two Wolves ~

I recently found this story, a legend passed down through the ages about an old Cherokee grandfather teaching his grandson about life. I thought it was appropriate to share with the deaf community. Certainly gives you “food for thought.” The original story is below the vlog.

The Ear of My Heart

My name is LaRonda Zupp, and I am Deaf. Welcome to "The Ear of My Heart."

The title of my blog comes from the opening verse of St. Benedict’s prologue, which tells us to ‘listen carefully and attend with the ear of our hearts.’ St. Benedict was a saint who urged us to listen within the depths of our soul, keeping ourselves attentive to wisdom that comes from the voice within, and inclining our hearts toward deeper understanding.

My blog title is not about “ears” or “hearing” or being able to “hear clearly,” the way hearing people can hear sound. It is about LISTENING with pure loving attention to what people are really communicating. This is what it means to me to listen and blog with ‘the ear of my heart.’
