The Self to the Self

Listening to ourself, to the ever-flowing inner conversation we hold with ourself, is sometimes astonishingly revealing. At first it may be an effort even to hear this monologue, but if we patiently pay attention, as to a child who is learning to speak, it will emerge more and more clearly. Then we can begin to sense something of the hopes and fears, the loves and hates that we live under the surface, and we can experiment with following out some of those indications.
