Description
Listen....
**** When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
**** There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.
**** It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
**** To listen closely and reply well is the highest perfection we are able to attain in the art of conversation.
**** Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble.
**** Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn

Wow cool shot, and words. Trust me I know so well, seems no one ever listens to anything I say. Just today they told me my new glasses were ok, when they arnt.
Well put... Excellent writeup... Excellent picture...
I hear you, Akemi!!!!!!!! Mistakes are made when things are mis-understood! Excellent reminder and a fabulous image!!!! An ancient wisdom found in this creature!!!!!! Excellent presentation!!!!!!!
Amen to that Akemi! Wise words from a wise woman. And what a talented womans he is.....dragon-owning woman even, LOL. I remember that fella. That dedi you gave me is still one of my absolute favorites ever. Amazing clarity in this shot. So gorgeous! Have a wonderful remaining of your weekend. #:o)
WHOOOHW!! That is my favorite dragon lizard! Amazing textures on the skin plus superbe colours and details!! The sharpness is just wonderful! Thank you and have a nice day JOE
Listening not only with your ears but also with your eyes, your experience and your heart and not asuming what has been said, but asking what could have been ment and trying to see the world through the other ones eyes is a very good way to really understand each other and to trustfully live together... Thanks for your words and for the wonderful photo
What a fantastic creature to illustrate the wise words, most of us ought to listen to.
Very true words indeed ! - A lovely shot of this creature , fabulous detail and colour captured in the skin textures. I bet he is a good listener and never answers back :D
Yessss my friend!!! To listen is an art for sometime circonstancy. Very beautiful animal and color !!! Excellent post!!! Good day ;)
A gorgeous presentation of this impressive animal! Really true and wise words !!
Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful dragon!!!!!!! wise words too!!!!!!! I'm listening..........
Just fantastic - you are fantastic, too!!! Superb, top shot!!!!
Wow, the sharpness, the detail the color - all have a fantastically hyper-real quality. And you're right, true listening is a skill very few people really exercise on a regular basis - because it involves suspending one's own beliefs long enough to try to understand & appeciate the validity of someone else's...
Very wise words that everyone should take to heart. Thanks for the reminder. A splendid photo of this fellow. He/she is very colorful. Great detail.
I think I've developed a case of selective hearing thru the years...(just kidding)lol. Beautiful capture of this creature. Excellent job. Aloha
What a handsome dragon this is Akemi!!! Such wise words to live by too, listening is an art unto itself, few master it!!! But when they do??????? Excellent work my friend!!!!!
wow... awsome shot !!
I hear you,Akemi,and I most whole-heartedly agree.So much could be avoided if people would just quiet themselves and listen...Recently my daughter was taking a class where they were learning how to remember people's names in a large group.They were`taught that if they heard a story from each individual that they would remember their names better,and it was true.They did.BUT...they all had trouble remembering the names of the people sitting next to them and that was because as it became closer to their own turn,they stopped listening and started to worry about what they themselves were going to say.I thought that quite 'telling',and your second line here reminded me of that...Anyway,this is an excellent shot.Beautifully detailed to the point of being almost surreal.It's a fabulous capture and your words make this upload even more wonderful.Always a joy to see your work.You always have something to 'say',Akemi,and I love that.All the best to you,sweetie.-M :^)
Wow!! Great portrait!!! I love iguanas! and very wise words too!!! Bravo!!! and thanks a lot a lot for adding me in your favs!
God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we talk.Now as for this photo i have not yet seen such a more ccolourful and well focused reptile except for live. Nice work Akemi. A wonderful presentation.
I love the iguana, he is very handsome! Happy Halloween Akemi!! 8-)
What a beautiful animal !! He has such amazing colours. Nice capture with great detail !
Excellent advice, Akemi, and a wonderfully detailed shot of this dragon.
what a great shot he is full of personality !!... i have a bearded dragon but wouldnt mind having one of these ( lol i should be careful we already have a zoo lol) beautiful shot can see every detail!!
He does look very wise indeed. Thank you for the good advice and for this beautifully detailed picture. :)
i just bob my head in the right places & then flare my dewlap- when you have reptiles you learn patience- this one is a beauty
