There are ways of being in the world that create a flourishing life and other ways that restrict that life, both for ourselves and others. Listening is one of these ways of being. Listening gives shape to speaking, inviting other people into a dialogue that impacts our everyday lives.

Tokyo is a city designed long ago as a maze to prevent easy assault on the central castle. Streets curve and loop back unexpectedly. Clear destinations shift and fade off like evaporating mirages. There are social convolutions in the way that the basest criminals can swing into alignment with the highest echelons of society.
