“One of the greatest experiences I ever had was listening to a conversation with Joni Mitchell and Wayne Shorter. Just to hear them talking, my mouth was open. They understand each other perfectly, and they make these leaps and jumps because they don't have to explain anything.” TalkingListeningConversationMouthsLeapWayne Author:Herbie Hancock

“I spend several years trying to get inside the brain and heart of my subjects, listening to the interior monologues in their letters, and when I have to bridge the chasms between the factual evidence, I try to make an intuitive leap through the eyes and motivation of the person I'm writing about.” WritingTryingYearsHeartPersonsEyeMotivationBrainSubjectsListeningEvidenceLettersBridgesLeapInteriorsIntuitiveThrough The EyesFactualMonologuesChasmsHeart And Brain Author:Irving Stone
“I love listening to music with my mate. We don't do it often, but when we do we'll just sit there and lose our heads in it. Sooner or later he'll start saying something to the effect of "Hey, Thom, can you put in something else now?" but I'll just nod coldly and respond "not just yet". But after awhile, I'll finally budge. And that's when I crack a big smile and take out The Bends and put in Kid A. My friend just sighs and leaves the room, and I can't blame him. He's not ready for that leap yet.” I CanBigsKidsLosesRoomsEffectsReadyListeningMy FriendsBlameHeyCracksLeapMatesSooner Or LaterSighListening To MusicNot Ready Author:Thom Yorke
“Whatever you think The Uni-verse is withholding from you, YOU are withholding from The Uni-verse. If you think that The Uni-verse isn't answering your prayers, chances are you aren't listening to your intuition and following it. You are so scared that you ask for new intuition, but that's not how life works. The Uni-verse is constantly whispering to you, nudging you to trust It and take a leap. But if you don't take the leap of faith, then The Uni-verse can't open any more doors for you.” ThinkingChancePrayerListeningScaredIntuitionLeapOur PrayersLeap Of Faith Author:Mastin Kipp
“Heroes didn't leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.” PeopleIfsHandsCommunitySimpleBuildingListeningHeroOrdinaryLeapTallBootsHeroismRescueBulletsOrdinary PeopleSuperpowerBruisedCapesTall Buildings Book:Second Glance Source: Second Glance
