"Give me the listening ear.
I seek this day the ear that will not shrink from the word that corrects and admonishes
the word that holds up before me the image of myself
that causes me to pause and reconsider
the word that challenges me to deeper consecration and higher resolve
the word that lays bare needs that make my own days uneasy,
that seizes upon every good decent impulse of my nature,
channeling it into paths of healing in the lives of others."
~ Howard Thurman
