Giving Up Reading Listening

More From Charles Frazier

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?

Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. you can call it compassionate listening. you listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion. because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.

Listening to what people were saying wasn't even important. but it was important to look as if you were listening to what people were saying. actually, listening to what people are saying, to me, interferes with looking as if you were listening to what people are saying.

Reading with an eye towards metaphor allows us to become the person we’re reading about, while reading about them. that’s why there is symbols in books and why your english teacher deserves your attention. ultimately, it doesn’t matter if the author intended the symbol to be there because the job of reading is not to understand the author’s intent. the job of reading is to use stories as a way into seeing other people as a we ourselves.

A garden is a grand teacher. it teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.

The first acting thing i ever did was my senior year i decided not to play a sport in the spring and, in that spring b.j. novak who went to school with me, asked if i'd be in this show that was a parody of all the teachers in the school, 'sure!' that was the first acting thing i did.

People always got the image i was an anti-christ or antireligion. i'm not. i'm a most religious fellow. i was brought up a christian and i only now understand some of the things that christ was saying in those parables. because people got hooked on the teacher and missed the message. all this bit about electing a president. we pick our own daddy out of a dog pound of daddies.
