Deepening Circles gives me a chance to hear people in a unique way. The people are not my spouse, my kids, my co-workers, or my friends. We talk about topics that I don’t talk about in normal life–like “how have I healed?”, “things I’ve learned from people I didn’t expect to learn anything from,” (e.g., the value of sports-talk radio), and “what makes each of us worthy”. Even from people I would never have selected to have extended conversations with, I get to hear how they think and feel, how some of them have remarkable experiences I could never have imagined, and sometimes they say things that spark an insight about who I am.
