"Listening is the oldest and perhaps most powerful tool for healing. It is often through the quality of our listening and not the wisdom of our words that we are able to affect the most profound changes in the people around us. When we listen, we offer with our attention an opportunity for wholeness. Our listening creates sanctuary for the homeless parts within the other person" (Remen, 1996)
"Considering how common illness is, how tremendous the spiritual change it brings, how astonishing, when the lights of health go down, the undiscovered countries that are then disclosed, what wastes and deserts of the soul a slight attack of influenza brings to view, what ancient and obdurate oaks are uprooted in us by the act of sickness, it becomes strange indeed that illness has not taken its place with love and battle and jealousy among the prime themes of literature" (Virginia Woolf, 1948)
