Listening Past the Words
Day two of a course on closeness begins with a doctor warming a stethoscope in one palm before it meets the skin. The practice brings that same warming into ordinary conversation, returning to a phrase from this week and listening for what sat beneath its surface.

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line, present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
