Relationship begins with thoughtless awareness, an openness that sees and hears with humility, and a consideration that has already forgiven all things that the mind might present as a barrier to unity. —Booker Jones More about this quote Tags: awareness forgiveness peace relationship humility business service significance consideration Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
