Drunk On Sky-mindedness ~

Posted by LaRonda on March 25th, 2007

Inspired by Carl Schroeder’s recent “Dragon Story” of children as “plants” that start from strong “roots,” I decided to post this blog and vlog to share an opportunity I recently had to give my son both “roots and wings.” Below the vlog is the story of this special Spring day — A day in the life of a deaf mom and her KODA son — filmed by my hearing husband…

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.’
