What deep listening unlocks for me, by Henry Shukman
7Description
As a boy in Oxford, Henry Shukman seeks refuge from a painful childhood by disappearing into poetry, immersing himself in nature. But the beauty and clarity he finds there is only fleeting. A series of visits with a mysterious old family friend help him to understand that experiencing beauty — and its extraordinary gifts — doesn’t have to be a chance encounter. In fact, it could become a guiding principle of his life. Through listening deeply, she shows him how to unlock beauty at every moment.
Explore more of Henry’s work including his new book: Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening and mindfulness app The Way.
