Listening.  Something that seems so simple but yet is very difficult and now more than ever it is imperative.  Benjamin Mathes is an actor in Los Angels, is an acting teacher, and is a listener.  In fact, he has created a website called UrbanConfessional.org that not only tells why and even how to listen, but has created a movement of listening all across the globe.  You want to get started?  It's as simple as creating a sign, standing on a corner and just.....listening.
