-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The essence of heart to heart dialogue is
to have the "courage" to sincerely listen,
with an open heart, to the other person.
To be able to speak out the "truth" and share your own convictions.
To create an environment of "trust' where both people can empathise with
and understand each other's perspectives.
New friendships are indeed treasures!
