Something to say?
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.’

How you told it was really endearing and cute. Some of your additions were colorful, like that part about the ear twitching during the rabbit’s sleep. That seemed to embody a mammalian characterization which made the story more “alive”. An entertaining watch, indeed.

LaRonda,

I forgot to add: great message too!
(it was enjoyable to watch the video with you signing; since I can’t follow the signing alone, I’m really glad that you had captioning too; it was very helpful).
