The Other Way To Listen

BY BYRD BAYLOR

Brief Description:
The book features a young person who tells about learning to listen to nature from an older man who can hear "wildflower seeds burst open, beginning to grow underground." The narrator tells of practicing this kind of listening and of the gradual awakening she experiences in moments of hearing the earth singing "the oldest sound in the world." In this book Byrd Baylor offers up a spare and accessible portrait of deep listening and an excellent tool for talking about what kind of inner experiences one can have in the silence of worship. This book is a selection of Philadelphia Yearly Meeeting's project One Book, One Yearly Meeting.
