HOW TO BECOME MORE EMPATHETIC


"It's good in some ways, not to have language. It makes you see things. You turn your attention, not to babbling about yourself, broadcasting each and every thought to everyone within earshot -as people often do- but to observing. That's how faeries become so empathetic."

- TIGER LILY by Jodi Lynn Anderson

We may not be able to turn faerie, but we can listen...

  1. Isn't it wonderful what authors bring to us, Irene?! I looked up this book to see what you were talking about & found what looks like quite a story-on my wish list! Thank you.
