Árbol de fuego
Alfredo Espino

Son tan vivos los rubores
de tus flores, raro amigo,
que yo a tus flores les digo:
“Corazones hechos flores”.

Y a pensar a veces llego:
Si este árbol labios se hiciera…
¡ah, cuánto beso naciera
de tantos labios de fuego…!

Amigo: qué lindos trajes
te ha regalado el Señor;
te prefirió con su amor
vistiendo de celajes…

Qué bueno el cielo contigo,
árbol de la tierra mía…
Con el alma te bendigo,
porque me das tu poesía…

Bajo un jardín de celajes,
al verte estuve creyendo
que ya el sol se estaba hundiendo
adentro de tus ramajes.

When will horoscopes tell you the truth? Are we just desperate to hear that for once, life might get better?
Maybe we should make our own luck.
A very short podcast. I'm just joking about the horoscopes - I wish you the very best!

Master the Art of Conversation: Active Listening Best Practices
In today's fast-paced world, truly being heard can feel like a luxury. Active listening, however, goes beyond simply hearing words. It's a powerful communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and strengthens relationships. Here are some best practices to elevate your active listening game:

Be Present: Put away distractions like phones and silence internal chatter. Focus solely on the speaker, conveying attentiveness through eye contact and open body language.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay attention not just to words, but also to tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. These nonverbal cues can reveal underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.

Embrace Silence: Don't feel pressured to fill every pause. Comfortable silence allows the speaker to gather their thoughts and express themselves fully.

Ask Clarifying Questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness. This also helps identify any misunderstandings early on.

Acknowledge Emotions: Validate the speaker's feelings with empathy. Show you understand their perspective, even if you don't agree.

Minimize Interruptions: Allow the speaker to finish their thoughts before responding. Interrupting hinders their flow and can come across as dismissive.

By incorporating these practices, you become a more engaged and supportive listener. This strengthens relationships in all areas of life, from building trust with clients to fostering deeper connections with loved ones. Remember, active listening is a continuous journey. With practice, you'll become a master of communication, fostering a world where everyone feels heard and understood.
