What keeps us from being thoughtful listeners?... The simple answer is that listening is expensive. It requires changing the pace at which we live our lives. It takes time... The more profound answer to the question has to do with our humanity. We are members of a fallen race. We are proud, and proud people don’t listen well. We are fearful people, and fear keeps us from entrusting ourselves to others. We think more highly of ourselves than we ought. We are frequently hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. We are compulsively self-serving and often too full of ourselves to humbly listen to others.

		Violets
		Granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

These delicate edible confections can be used as decorations on cakes or
simply put out for nibblers on a glass candy plate. Both scent and flavor
are exotic.
Whip 1 egg white until it is frothy but does not stand in peaks. Gather
perfect violets and their leaves; wash them gently and quickly in cold
water and drip dry. When dry, dip each violet or leaf in the egg white and
roll it quickly in granulated sugar to coat evenly, taking care not to get
the sugar on too thick. Lay out on waxed papers to dry, well separated. In
several hours or a day, the blossoms will be quite crisp and can keep for
several months without losing fragrance or flavor. Store in an airtight
tin, layered between waxed paper. Makes dozens.
