To practice care, start with the smallest reversible step you can manage. Sometimes the kindest act is the one stripped down to its purest, unburdened essence. Listen carefully to suggestions that suggest a sustainable, gentle expansion. Let purpose meet reflection in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you separate an intention from an expectation.
